How do you usually sleep at night — like a log, or are you a bit of a restless sleeper?

A natural way to answer

I'm a fairly restless sleeper. I toss and turn for a while before I settle, and small noises wake me up easily. On a good night, though, I sleep right through.

Key phrases to use

  • drop off — to fall asleep, usually without trying“I dropped off on the sofa before the film ended.”
  • toss and turn — to keep moving around in bed because you can't sleep“I tossed and turned all night worrying about it.”
  • switch off — (of your mind) to stop thinking and relax“I can't switch off after a stressful day.”
