And welcome back to top words.

My name is Alicia and today we're gonna talk about 10 words for talking about sleep.

Let's go to wake up The first word is to wake up to wake up is to open your eyes probably in your bed or the place where you are sleeping To wake up is to ah to become conscious, to become awake every day you wake up Ah, presumably hopefully in a sentence.

I woke up three times last night to get up to get out of bed.

All right, The next word is to get up or to get out of bed.

So that means to physically move your body from your bed out of bed to stand up from your bed to get out of your bed.

We say to get up or to get out of bed in a sentence.

I got up at eight o'clock this morning to snooze.

The next word is to snooze, so we have to snooze and alarm and also to snooze.

So to snooze means to take a short sleep, to have a short sleeping time or to snooze and alarm is when your alarm goes off in the morning, you have a button.

Most alarm clocks have some button you can press so the alarm will turn on again in like, five or 10 minutes or something.

So to snooze and alarm is to go like to ask your alarm to wake you up again a few minutes later.

That's to snooze.

So we have to snooze and alarm and to snooze, meaning like a short light sleep.

It is intense.

I always news my alarm at least once.

That is usually true to oversleep.

The next word is to oversleep.

To oversleep, means to sleep too much or to sleep late.

Actually, no, it doesn't mean to sleep late to sleep late means just to sleep until a late time in the day.

Oversleep means sleeping beyond the time you wanted to get up.

So, for example, if my alarm is set for eight o'clock, but I wake up at nine o'clock, I overslept.

I slept beyond my wakeup time so we can use oversleep to talk about times when you sleep too much, you sleep more than your body needs you too.

So maybe your body needs depending on the person, like 6 to 9 hours or so.

But if you sleep like 14 hours, we can say that's over a sleeping.

You're sleeping too much.

That's the nuance here in a sentence.

I overslept on my first day of work.

Nap.

The next word is nap.

Nap is a short sleep.

So a nap is maybe 30 minutes.

One hour, just a short sleep, a short rest.

So ah, lot of people will take a nap in the afternoon, for example.

Or maybe Children actually take naps, for example, in preschool or when they're very, very young.

They have an afternoon nap, a short sleep, but yeah, just like an hour or so.

I imagine his sentence.

I love naps.

Actually, I do like maps.

I don't like number, because when I take a nap, it becomes asleep.

It's always like I wake up four hours later, and I'm like, Okay, well, I have destroyed my sleep schedule.

Dream.

The next word is dream.

Dream.

So dreams are those those visions?

Those images You see those x Maybe experiences.

It seems like you have when you are asleep in a sentence.

I always have weird dreams.

Nightmare.

So the next word is nightmare.

Nightmare is a word which means bad dream or scary dream.

Negative dream.

So, uh, Children maybe have nightmares a lot.

They wake up crying or they're really upset by nightmares, monsters, terrifying things happening and so on in a sentence.

Do you ever have nightmares to go to bed?

The next word is to go to bed.

So before we talked about to get up or to get out of bed, this is the opposite.

To go to bed means to get in your bed, to to try to go, to sleep, to go to MIT in a sentence.

I usually go to bed fairly late to hit the hay to hit the sack.

The next expression is kind of Asano, a slang expression.

We have to hit the hay and to hit the sec.

These both mean to go to bed.

Um, they both mean to try to fall asleep, but we just used them in more casual situations.

Thean Midge here of Hit the Hay is with your body hitting Hey, like laying down in.

Hey, I believe historically, because hey was used to stuff things that people slept on.

So that's why we have this expression to hit the hay with your body.

Same thing for to hit the sack.

So a sack full of something soft to sleep on is where the expression comes from.

In a sentence.

I think I'm gonna hit the hay.

Okay.

To fall asleep.

The next expression it is to fall asleep to fall asleep.

You're in bed and you finally you lose consciousness.

You you stop being aware you are asleep.

In that moment, we say you fall asleep in a sentence.

It takes me a long time to fall asleep.

All right.

Okay, so that's the end.

Those are 10 words that you can use to talk about sleep.

If you have an interesting dream or an interesting nightmare, make sure and leave it in a comment that sounds like it would be really funny.

A really interesting thing to read about.
