This episode explores the word "move" and its usage in forming phrasal verbs. By understanding the combinations like "move up," "move over," and "move down," you can learn phrasal verbs in a meaningful way. Instead of simply memorizing them, this approach helps you grasp their meanings and use them naturally in your language. Examples and a story illustrate how these phrasal verbs are applied, enabling a deeper comprehension and automatic usage.

Why Sleep Matters for Language Learning
1.	Memory Consolidation
During sleep, especially in the REM stage, your brain organizes and strengthens memories. Studies show that newly learned vocabulary and grammar rules are more likely to stick if you get adequate sleep after studying. Skipping sleep disrupts this process, making it harder to recall what you’ve learned.
2.	Problem-Solving and Creativity
Sleep boosts your ability to solve complex problems and think creatively. If you’ve ever woken up with a solution to a problem, you’ve experienced the power of sleep in action. This applies to cracking tricky grammar rules or composing sentences in your target language.
3.	Cognitive Resilience
Lack of sleep impairs focus and mental flexibility. Research shows that even one night of poor sleep can reduce your ability to absorb new information by up to 40%. For consistent language progress, consistent sleep is non-negotiable.
