I could have had a big sleep on weekends, but migraines disturbed my dreams. In addition, the weather suddenly became cold, which made me feel so migraines that I couldn't sleep at night~ I had insomnia all night, and I got up early in the morning to go on a date Good friend, when my friend saw my eyes turn dark, I asked with concern:

Hey what's up?

I want to express that I had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well, so I said:

I can't sleep last night.

Friends a question:

Were you waiting someone's call?

Answer:

No... it was just the migraine.

here, although I can't sle ep expression insomnia, but there is something wrong with it. Why? Because "I can't sleep" means "you must be awake if you have to delay something", you really want to sleep, but you have to deal with it because you have something to deal with.

What should I say exactly?

01. Use up to indicate the state of "waking up"

I was all up last night because of the migraine.

I was awake all night because of the migraine.

I was awake last night because of migraine.

The all up here means that I haven’t slept all night and was awake.

02, keep sb. awake/up.

This expression means that I didn’t sleep all night because of something:

The migraine kept me awake/up all night.

Migraine made me wake up all night.

Migraine kept me awake all night. .

Of course, this can also be used to express that because of something, for example, mothers with babies cannot sleep all night, and safety is because of the child's crying.

My son kept me awake/up all night.

My son kept me awake/up all night.

My son made me so much trouble that I didn’t sleep much all night.

03. Express "Toss and Turns"

When you have something in your mind that you have not solved it, and you toss and turns in bed and can't fall asleep. In this case, we can use the word "toss [ts]".

I 've been tossing and turning all night, and wake up feeling

worn out.

I tossing and turning all night, and I couldn't sleep all night, and I woke up all over tired.

toss The word itself also has the meaning of "throw, throw, swing", bumpy

For example:

toss a dice throw dice

toss a coin throw coin

Let's toss a coin/dic e to decide.

Let's go to the coin/die decision Bar!

04. Use stay up late to mean staying up late

. Everyone knows that sleeping late means staying up late, and this is artificially wanted to sleep late, such as sleeping late to watch football games, watching movies, etc. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

I used to stay up late with my mom and watch movies.

In the past, I always stayed up late with my mom and watch movies.

In the past, I always stayed up late with my mom and watched movies.

Because of various sleep disorders, sleeping problems, and the symptoms of long-term sleep cannot sleep, it has the corresponding name in English "insomnia[nsmni]".

I'm suffering from a terrible case of ins omnia.

I'm doing it Insomnia at night is very painful.

When it comes to "staying up", the first thing you may think of is staying up. In fact, foreigners rarely say that. They express moxa leaves in a variety of ways. Let's briefly introduce it below.

(1) For example, if there is a small exam tomorrow, students have to stay up late to review, and they may use:

I have to cram for... tomorrow.

For tomorrow's..., I have to hug the Buddha's feet temporarily.

(For tomorrow's exam, I'm going to stay up late to read books tonight)

cram means you have to quickly browse all the relevant information and force it into your brain.

(2) I will be up all night (doing something).

I have to be busy with something all night.

This is what we mentioned above. We should use "up" to indicate the state of awakening all night.

(3) I am going to pull an all-nighter.

I am going to drive the night train.

all-nighter is a slang for staying up all night. "pull an all-nighter" means you won't sleep, usually implying that you will be studying. But, without any particular emphasis, you can do anything at night.

(4) Don't wait up for me.

Don't wait for me.

When you have something to do at night, you may say hello to the person waiting for you at home, "I have to stay up late to accompany the client today, you go to bed first, don't wait for me."

(5) I will be studying/ working until dawn.

I will study/work until dawn.

(6) I'm burning the midnight oil.

I'm going to drive the night car.

This is a slang term that means you have worked very late! In ancient times, you could only burn oil in a lamp or lantern after the sun sets. burning the midnight oil means working until late at night.

(7) I'm working the graveyard shift.

I'm working on the night shift.

graveyard shift or night shift is the time when most people work while sleeping.

OK. Today, I will introduce the oral English expressions such as "can't say it, insomnia, staying up late" for the time being. I wonder if you have anything else to add. If you think it's useful, don't forget to give a thumbs up to Dabai. Oh ~
