Night Owl

Welcom to English in a Minute!

An owl is a kind of bird found all over the world.

Night Owel

Why would you describe a person as a “night owl”?

Well, I did it.

I finished Apartment of Cards.

How?

You just started watching the show last week!

I have always been a night owl, Jonathan.

So I’ve been staying up late to get through the show.

You haven’t been sleeping at all, have you?

A “night owl” is someone who stays up late, owls are most active at night.

That is where this expression comes from.

The opposite of a “night owl” is an “early bird” someone how favors waking up very early in the morning.

And that’s English in a Minute!
