睡觉 shuìjiào to sleep
怎么记住“睡觉”: 睡 sleep + 觉 feel = to sleep.
汉字
用法
- To sleep / go to bed - 我要睡觉了 (wǒ yào shuìjiào le) I'm going to sleep.
- Verb-object pair, so it splits: 睡了一觉 took a nap, 睡个好觉 sleep well. For a short break not involving sleep use 休息.
- 觉 is jiào here (not the jué of 觉得); the opposite morning action is 起床 - 七点起床 (qī diǎn qǐchuáng) get up at seven.
