Slept

Hello, could you please tell me if both of the following sentences are correct and natural?

I slept well last night.
I was sleeping well last night.
  

Top answer

The first sentence is stating a fact. The second implies that something else is to come: I was sleeping well last night when the fire engine came speeding down the street with sirens blowing and lights flashing.
