Need help finding error in a sentence

Hello, i am working on a school project, and I really need some help here!
I can't seem to find the problem with this sentence:

1. He had only had two hours' sleep but nevertheless he went to the dentist.

Thank you in advance.

The sentence looks okay to me. Some might argue that only should be placed before two hours' sleep, which it modifies, but it is commonly placed where it is in the sentence. CB

Yeah, that's the main reason I'm having the problem you see. I think it looks alright aswell.

Though in the task it sais, that there is exactly one error. So there got to be something wrong.
