Is this sentence correct with and without 'of'?

I did not sleep well all of the days 'of' last week.

Thanks.

Anonymous I did not sleep well all of the days 'of' last week. It's rather old-fashioned language. Today we just say: I did not sleep well all last week.

Thanks for pointing that out. But just just of or curiosity, would you tell me if the sentence is correct, and if 'of' is optional?

Great. Thanks a lot.

I would like to ask you one more question please.

Is this sentence also correct (I basically excluded 'of the' in the original sentence)?

"I did not sleep well all days (of) last week"
