Expressions - Hit the sack

Brian L

Here’s a natural English phrase: "hit the sack"
It means to go to bed or go to sleep.

I’m so tired—I’m going to hit the sack early tonight.

This is a casual, common expression that native speakers use instead of just saying “go to bed.”

Try this: “I’m going to hit the sack because __________.”
