THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, I WENT TO BED AT 11:30 P.M.

 Sleep is very important for our health. People go to bed at different times depending on their routines, jobs, and lifestyles. Some people sleep early, while others stay up late. The day before yesterday, I went to bed at 11:30 p.m. It was a bit later than usual, but I was watching a movie and lost track of time. Going to bed late can sometimes make us feel tired the next day.
