Diary 2023/05/07

I've been writing my diary in English to improve my skill.
-----
These days, my husband and I prioritize the quality of our sleep as the most important matter of our lives. Therefore, we make sure to focus on getting good sleep every day. Nevertheless, I couldn't sleep well, especially last night. I am really concerned about this because given that my long holiday is going to end today, I need to adjust my lifestyle to be ready for the weekdays. I really want to sleep better tonight than I did yesterday.

I asked, "Can you rewrite the sentence to sound more native and show me the points and reasons that you corrected?"

My husband and I believe that getting quality sleep is the most important thing in our lives these days. Therefore, we prioritize it and make sure we sleep well every day. However, during the holidays I had been feeling healthy, but I couldn't sleep well, especially last night. This concerns me because my long holiday is ending today, and given that I have to be ready for the weekdays, I need to adjust my lifestyle accordingly. I really want to sleep better tonight than I did yesterday.

-Here are the points and reasons for the corrections:"Prioritize" is a more natural word choice than "deal with" when talking about something that is important to you.
-"Make sure to focus on" can be simplified to "focus on" to make the sentence clearer.
-"But unfortunately" is a more natural way to show contrast than "nevertheless."
-"I had been having healthy days" can be simplified to "I had been feeling healthy."
-"To be under the weather" means to be sick, which is not the intended meaning. "To be ready for the weekdays" is a more accurate description of what the writer means.
-"Better than I did yesterday" is a more natural way to express the desire to sleep better than "better than yesterday."
