Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to easy English expressions.

You and me every day, come on, let's master English.

Hello everybody.

Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.

Today's expression is fantastic.

It is hit the sack.

Oh boy, I would love to hit the sack. Oh boy, I would love to hit the sack right now.

To hit the sack means to go to sleep, to go to bed.

S-A-C-K, hit the sack.

And I guess the idea of the sack is, I don't know know is it your mattress or your pillow i guess a long time ago they didn't have a regular mattress or a regular pillow people slept on a sack

which is like a bag and probably inside the sack there was straw or grass so that it was soft.

And to hit the sack means to take your body and boom, fall into the sack and go to bed.

Now in America, we do have the sleeping bag and we can call that a knapsack.

So maybe the references to that.

But who cares?

It means go to bed.

So what time did you hit the sack yesterday?

Uh-huh. Tell me. Tell me. While while you tell me let's listen to a dialogue where's Shane he hit the sack already it's only 10 he was really tired he was up till one

you know I wish I could hit the sack early.

I do.

Right now, as I'm recording this podcast, it's 8.43 p.m.

And if I could go to bed at 10 p.m., I would be so happy.
