When do you use the sign SLEEP?
SLEEP closes every daily-routine narration and opens most complaints about the night before. Parents sign it at bedtime, students sign it wishfully, and the sleep-deprived sign it with feeling. It belongs to the routine vocabulary of Lesson 34.
Lesson 34 of the challenge covers it with the daily routine.
