When people say "just x more sleeps!" Sleep is immeasureable!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU~

Update: anticipatory superfluous addendum: the time period of an occurence of sleep for a creature may be measurable. But sleep itself, as a concept, cannot be. HA!

Update: clarification plus further neurosis: so people should just say (x) more nights. And night can be used to denote a length of divisible time, although it may originally be an indivisible concept. I don't know, do I look like a linguist? I just want to rage in peace!!!!!!!!obligatory 1!
