Good night.
Sleep well.


There's also a kid's saying (with several variants):
"Good night, sleep tight
Hope the bed bugs don't bite
If they do
Get a shoe
And beat them 'til they're black and blue"

But "good night" will be enough in most circumstances ;-)

In America, most just say "good night". Some families might add to it for little ones or loved ones some family expression such as, "don't let the bedbugs bite", but usually it is only a standard good night.

Many other countries, expecially I have noticed European countries such as Germany, and Baltic contries such as Bosnia, have different expressions. One for friends, and another for close family members. Since my Serbo-Croatian spelling is even worse than my pronunciation, I dare to say "laku nách" to you! :-)

Sweet dreams would be the most common. It is used in speaking to a child or to someone you are on close terms with. Good night works for anyone. "Sleep tight" is another more casual expression and usually used to someone you are close to.

We usually say "Good Night". To the little ones we sometimes say, "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."

We usually just say "Good night" or if going to bed, "Sweet Dreams".
