The Chinese word 睡觉 (shuìjiào) for "to sleep" is composed of two characters: 睡 (shuì) and 觉 (jiào). The character 睡 originally meant "to lie down" or "to rest", and it is often used in combination with other characters to express different aspects of sleep, such as 睡着 (shuìzháo) "to fall asleep" and 睡醒 (shuǐxǐng) "to wake up". The character 觉 originally meant "to be aware" or "to perceive", and it is often used in combination with other characters to express different aspects of consciousness, such as 觉悟 (juéwù) "to awaken" and 觉察 (juéchá) "to notice". When combined together, the characters 睡 and 觉 form the word 睡觉, which specifically refers to the act of sleeping or going to bed.
