Basic Syntax Problems

So I'm just learning and picking up Twine, and I've been following VegetarianZombie's videos on Youtube. I'm on the If section, which I understand just fine but there seems to be a syntax error when using an if statement with passage links.

Code Below:
Passage 1

You dream of being weightless.

[[Open your eyes | Wake Up]]
[[Sleep]]

(set: $hourSleep to 8)

Passage 2

You roll over and refuse to awaken.

(if $hourSleep < 12) [[[Sleep]]]
[[Open your eyes | Wake Up]]

(set: $hourSleep to $hourSleep + 1)

Passage 3

(if: $hourSleep is 8) [Your eyes open suddenly.]

(if: $hourSleep > 8) [You startle awake after a solid $hourSleep hours of sleep.]

This gives me the following error:

Your issue is that you wrote the (if:) macro as (if) in Passage 2—i.e. you're missing the colon after the macro's name. For example:

→ The following:
(if $hourSleep < 12) [[[Sleep]]]

→ Should instead be:
(if: $hourSleep < 12) [[[Sleep]]]

OH! My goodness how could I miss something so simple? Thank you so much
