Advanced English Conversation Lesson #7: Sleep 😴 (learn real English w/ subtitles)

We have a new conversation in English for you! Today's topic is SLEEP. Vocabulary and useful phrases below - this is a great way to learn new words and to practice your listening!

WORDS AND PHRASES USED IN THIS CONVERSATION:

SLEEP DEPRIVATION

This means that you're not getting as much sleep as you need.

You can also say that you suffer from a lack of sleep.

GET BY ON LITTLE SLEEP

To get by on four hours of sleep means that you can function normally just by sleeping for four hours.

POWER THROUGH

To power through means to do something even though you're facing difficulty. It suggests that you are determined.

IT MADE ME THINK ABOUT THE TYPE OF SLEEP WE USED TO GET

Two things here:

LIE IN vs SLEEP IN

In American English, you'll hear to sleep in.

- She slept in and missed her train
- I need a sleep in
- I need a long lie in

PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER

This means to stay up all night. Kate pulled an all-nighter so that she could finish her assignment.

- I think I have to pull an all-nighter
- I used to pull a lot of all-nighters

PAST PERFECT

By the time I met your family, I had been awake for 36 hours."

A BIG DERBY

Did you find the written phrases useful? Also, be sure to turn on the subtitles if you need to. We would be very grateful if you shared this lesson with a friend. Thank you in advance and thank you for you watching 😀

Definitely, your conversations with Kate are the best ones on the Internet. Every your talk is like a window into your privacy, into your souls. You are so natural and not pretending anything. One has a feeling as if to sit with close friends.
Personally, I have a smaller problem to catch everything in Kate's speech. I don't want to turn on subtitles unless I'll have listened to it three times.
I sleep from seven to eight hours a day. If I haven't watched Englisch lesson at nights, I would sleep one or two hours longer.
Thank both of you for your enormous effort!

Hi Kate and Jack. These are Barbara and Ed. Barbara is my student and we watched your video together.
We really enjoyed this discussion and were talking along the video.
About your question, Barbara says: "I usually have 8 hours a night and yes, It's been enough for me."
Thank you for this nice video. See you next time!

I usually sleep for 12 hours and when I woke up I feel extremely tired😅

[learncasualenglish]

Very nice phrases that people use in daily conversation. This is a wonderful method of teaching thank you, Jack and Kate, for this video! I feel like people learn best when they actually have to use listening practice and learning basic phrases about topics like sleep is a great way to increase vocabulary!

[ninalokky]

That's a good thing to sleep with a clear mind. Thank you for the lesson

[MalaysiaTamilanVlogs]

Okay, First at all, I really enjoy this conversations, i learned a lot of things, new words, phrases and improve my listening skills. I usually slept between 8 to 9 hours, eight hours it's my favorite time to stay sleeping, but when I go to school I slept alone 6 or 7 hours so so. Greetings from Argentina! ❤🎉

In the recent time, i watched your videos every day.I enjoyed it very much.I usually sleep more than eight hours at night, one hours at daylight.if i've played Badminton so hard, i couldn't sleep so well at night.but a little bite sport may help me sleep well.my mind must be clear, just like what Kate had said, otherwise i can't fall asleep so quickly.

[renatogrilli]

Jack and Kate Thank you for posting this natural conversation, it is very usefull to practice english understandig. For me is very easy understanding written english but much harder when it is spoken.
when I was younger, I am 53 now, I used to need more hours of night sleep. Right now I am ok with 7 ours a day, . During the week I get up at seven o'clock, and on the week end I wake up by myself at 8 in the morning, which was impossible in my younger years.
Something that is different for me than for you is that heavy blankets are really uncomfortable for me, I need a blanket that are light weight but warm at the time.

[mollietai]

You deserve our support. Best wishes to you all. TF is where our English is.
