Good morning Michael,
When I am awakened in the middle of the night, I find it difficult to get back to sleep. I’m very sleepy because I exactly did this last night.
Here are my answers.
1. She loves to get up early in the morning.
She is pretty active during the day. But she sometimes takes a nap in the afternoon.
2. We call the period of time between about 12:00am and 3:00am the middle of the night.
See you.
Nice work, Ryo. I hope you sleep better tonight!
