STAY UP LATE

- Dear Teachers,

1. Susan often yawns at work, she must often stay up late to study.

- Is this natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

I'd say you shouldn't use the word 'often' twice in the sentence, and you need a conjunction to join the two clauses: Susan often yawns at work because she frequently has to stay up late to study. To me, 'has to' is more natural than 'must' in the sentence.
