"A good night's sleep" is a fixed expression (成語)
It means "a good night of sleep", meaning: (during) that night you had a good sleep

Because that is the way we've been saying it for hundreds of years. Why do you want to change that?

睡了一个好觉，在中文的翻译中是省略“的”的，但是在英文中却不能省略，这是语法上的区别。你可以说 a good sleep, 但是却不能说a good night sleep, 因为这个句子里面night 是名词，所以应该说a good night's sleep
