How can I use sleep in a sentence?
Neville thought Harry had a bad case of exam nerves because Harry could not sleep, but the truth was that Harry kept being woken by his old nightmare, except that it was now worse than ever because there was a hooded figure dripping blood in it.
He tried to empty his mind — he needed to sleep, he had to, he had his first Quidditch match in a few hours – but the expression on Snape's face when Harry had seen his leg was not easy to forget.
A game of Quidditch only ends when the Snitch is caught, so it can go on for ages — I think the record is three months, they had to keep bringing on substitutes so the players could get some sleep.
So I told him, Fluffy's a piece o' cake if yeh know how to calm him down, jus' play him a bit o' music an' he will go straight off ter sleep — Hagrid suddenly looked horrified.
Every night before he went to sleep, Harry ticked off another day on the piece of paper he had pinned to the wall, counting down to September the first.
