起床讲解(3)

There's an expression "if you snooze, you lose." If you snooze, you lose, which means if you fall asleep - if you are not awake, you may miss something important.

You will not win; you will lose if you are sleeping.

This used to happen to me when I was young, I would snooze, and then I would lose.

I would miss things because I was sleeping.

Now I try to stay awake more.

Anyway, getting back to Lucy's story, well, she likes to sleep another ten minutes.

Her roommate thinks that she's crazy, but she says that using her snooze button in the morning helps her wake up.

Remember, to wake up, "wake" up (two words), means to stop sleeping.

Lucy says that she's "a night owl, not an early bird." A night owl, "owl," means someone who likes to go to bed very late at night - 11:30 p.m., 12 o'clock midnight.

Someone who goes to sleep very late, we call that person a night owl.
