Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•Use 寝る with the particle に to say when or where you go to sleep, like 10時に寝る (go to bed at 10 o’clock) or ベッドに寝る (sleep in bed).
•Don’t use を with 寝る—unlike English, you don’t “sleep something”; just say 寝る by itself.
•To say "I want to sleep," use 寝たい, as in もう寝たい (I want to sleep already).
