00A related question. Why do people say "good night's sleep" instead of just "sleep"? Is it because sleeping can take place at any time of the day, maybe there's such thing as good evening's sleep, good afternoon's sleep, good morning's sleep? I always think sleeping at any time of the day is called a nap.02br

00By the way, I wonder how to pronounce your name, Clive. It has been bothering me for some time. Not that I need to say it to you, but I tend to read in my heard (read it in my heart/mind -I can't remember the oposite of read it out loud) when I read or type.02br

00( PS: I don't even dare to attempt to pronounce MM's name. Anyway, I have no problem with his name because I always address him as MM. Hope he doesn't mind. Even if he does, I'll still call him MM in my mind) 0-

00'I got a good night's sleep'. This means I got adequate sleep, enough sleep to give me a good night. If I only slept for 2 hours because the bed was uncomfortable, then I didn't get a good night's sleep.02br
