Questions & Answers about Я пойду спать пораньше, чтобы утром чувствовать себя бодрее.
Yes and no.
- Пойду is the 1st person singular future of the perfective verb пойти.
- Идти is imperfective, and пойти is its perfective partner in many contexts.
- Because пойти is perfective, it forms the future with a simple future:
я пойду = I will go
In this sentence, though, пойду is part of the common pattern пойти + infinitive, which often means:
- to go and do something
- to set off to do something
- or very naturally in English, to go to ...
So я пойду спать means I’ll go to sleep / I’ll go to bed, not just I will walk.
Because these mean different things.
- Я пойду спать = I’ll go to bed / I’ll go to sleep
- Я буду спать = I’ll be sleeping / I will sleep
So:
- пойду спать focuses on the decision or action of going to bed
- буду спать focuses on the state of sleeping
In your sentence, the speaker means they will go to bed earlier, so пойду спать is the natural choice.
