New Orleans, it's a city of the United States.

And today's lesson is on, believe it or not, not New Orleans, but sleep.

It's something we do, if you think about it.

You're awake and one-third of your life is spent sleeping.

And in your own language you have many words for "sleep", and we do, too.

And some of these words I don't think you've ever been taught.

If so, I'm going to try and help you remember them, and go through a couple phrasal verbs

If I say to you: "Sweet dreams", I want you to dream, have a good night's sleep and dream

or "sweet dreams", I'm having a good one.

In this case, look at Mr. E. How are you...?

But you'll notice he's sleeping, he's got some zzz' up here, and he's sweet dreams.

If you think about our site, you'll have good dreams.

So let's start on the good side, shall we?

Because that's where we should have a good night's sleep. Right?

"Good night's sleep", you sleep all the way through the night and you feel fantastic.

If you have a little sleep, let's just say you've had a really busy day and you're a

When I was a little boy we used to call it a "nap".

So for 20 minutes or maybe 30, 40 minutes you'd go upstairs quietly, go into a little

ball and go to sleep for 20 minutes and you'd take a nap.

Well, now it's the 21st century and everything's more aggressive, so you don't have a nap,

20 minutes, total relaxation, total focus.

So today it's gone from "nap" to a "power nap".

And when you tell people you're having a power nap, you're going to sleep like a kitten and

That's what they say now, so I'm power napping.

It's a way of making it sound more important than: "I'm tired. I need to sleep." Okay?

A dream is basically pleasant thoughts while you're sleeping.

You're travelling, having fun with your friends, kissing your favourite person.

You're having pleasant thoughts as you're sleeping. Okay?

If you like those movie stars and that, do you look in their eyes?

Yes, and you go: "Oh my gosh, he's so sexy. He's so lovely. I love his eyes."

Now, there's another one for you: "Catch some zzz'" See up here?

Mr. E is going: "[Snores]. Zzzzzz. [Snores] Zzzzzz."

You'll often hear people say: "Man, I got to catch some zzz' before my airplane. I need to get some sleep."

Maybe it's the last letter of the alphabet and by the time you get there you're tired.

And finally let's talk about "pillow talk". What is "pillow talk"?

No, you don't go: "Yo, pillow, you are so sexy.

Look at your bedroom eyes. You're beautiful." No.

When we talk about "pillow talk" it's actually when you're in bed with your partner or lover,

and you talk about things, intimate things like how you like their hair and their eyes,

or what a good day you've had, and it's really kind of romantic, and it's quiet and it's

nice, and then it ends in cuddling, which is another word for hugging in the bed and mmm.

Right? Sexual talk and cuddling, ladies, holding and touching after the big event.

Tell your husband or your significant other person:

"I like a little pillow talk when we're done, and we'll have it more often."

Guys, listen carefully when you hear that one. Okay?

Because your bedroom eyes won't always get you there.

That's the good, and I'm sure you're all smiling, going:

"I like these. I get to nap, a little sleep.

Use my eyes to make myself look much more attractive.

I get to relax by getting some good sleep in there.

And finally, if I talk and cuddle everything's good." Right?

Yeah, well, all good things come to an end.

This is the bad thing about sleep. Okay? This sucks.

"Sleepless", it doesn't mean you sleep less like four or five hours, it means no sleep,

and usually we say: "sleepless night", which meant all night long you were awake.

You tried to sleep, but you couldn't or you were unable to sleep.

Now, I'm going to try to close my eyes, but it's just not happening.

It means no matter what you do, you can't get to sleep.

"Sleepless", you lose some sleep; "wide awake", you can't sleep. That's it.

You're just up looking at the ceiling, maybe read a book, maybe walk, but you just can't go to sleep.
