Have a good night's sleep

Hi,

Can I say "have a good sleep"?
Or should I say "have a good night's sleep"?

I vote for the second, because I think sleep is an uncountable noun.

I agree. But it's not something we often wish someone, unless we know they have had trouble sleeping. "

We just say "good night" or, if you know them well, "sweet dreams."
