Translation

Many Chinese students like to stay up late, but considering that there is a class at eight o’clock the next day, people usually go to bed early. There is a Chinese saying that “going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health” Although I tell myself to go to bed early every day, I want to go to bed later at one or two o’clock. In fact, I’m quite sleepy, but I just want to wait a little longer. I don’t know what to wait for.
