B: So, how do you know when you’ve had sufficient sleep?
A: Turn off your alarm. Allow yourself to wake up naturally. If you need to get up early, go to bed early.
B: I can’t. I’m a night owl. I’ve never been an early bird. I’m not a lazy person: I just don’t do mornings well.

A: Everyone has their natural sleep pattern. The world is divided into owls and birds. The modern world favors the birds and frowns upon the owls.
B: Well, it’s been a fascinating chat. It’s made me want to go to sleep.
A: Yeah, that didn’t come out right, but I know what you mean.
B: 那你怎麼知道自己睡夠了?
A: 把鬧鐘關掉,然後睡到自然醒。如果你需要早起,就早點睡。
B: 沒辦法,我是夜貓子,從來就不是早起的鳥。我這個人並不懶,只是早上的工作效率不好。
A: 每個人都有自己天生的睡眠習慣。這個世界是由夜貓和早鳥這兩種人組成的,現今的世界偏愛早鳥,不喜歡夜貓。
B: 嗯,這個討論真是有趣,讓我想要去睡覺了。
A: 好啦,你這句話聽起來很怪,不過我知道你的意思。
