Night's sleep or nights sleep?

As in I haven't had a fucking full nights sleep in months. Or is it haven't had a fucking full night's sleep?

Night's sleep, I reckon. The sleep belongs to the night??? I think...?

With the apostrophe. And definitely with the 'fucking'. I'm not sure whether continued interest in apostrophes is a good or bad sign given the lack of sleep ... I feel like I should politely as how you are, but suspect the question is redundant given your question.

Thanks for the replies.

We are not really that bad dcmb, just the reality of a dependent baby setting in. And we had 3 nights of 7 hours sleep till yesterday, after I dropped her out of her carseat :(

Haven't recovered from months of pregnancy insomnia. Dd2 is lovely though.

Aw. Glad she's lovely (but of course!) Hope no one has interrupted you with Hallowe'en shennanigans this evening.
