Lesson 2 Key Conversation Too Tired to Sleep

Bill: I feel absolutely horrible! I didn't get a wink of sleep last night.

George: Really? Why not? I thought that project you were so worried about was finished. Why didn't you sleep?

Bill: Well, the project is finished, but I had been burning the candle at both ends for so long that my sleep has really suffered. I guess I'm actually too tired to sleep!

George: Goodness! You have to get some shuteye sometime, or you'll get sick!

Bill: I know, but my sleep patterns are really out of whack these days. I manage to fall asleep, but before I can get into a really deep sleep, I wake up and can't get back to sleep again.

George: Wow! That sounds like a really bad case of insomnia. Be careful. Have you tried a glass of warm milk?

Bill: I hate warm milk, and besides, that's an old "grandma" remedy - it doesn't work.

George: Maybe you should see a doctor.

Bill: I guess so. I'll see about going today after work.

George: Sweet dreams!!
