I'm actually not long out of bed

[kingston_123]

At her house, Miss Woolly vistied by Terry and Jack. So she said this words to them:


Sorry about the mess. And it's Kelly, by the way. It's just that I'm on nights this week, so I'm actually not long out of bed.

What is the meaning of "not long out of bed"?


Does it means "she just woke up from bed"?

To keep the "not long" part of it, it can be rewritten as "I have not been up for long".

Kingston, the book you're reading is written in a very casual, conversational kind of English. It may not be the best choice for your current level.
