I would like to know how to say something casually but can't figure out how to convey it properly I would like to say "it is pretty late, perhaps you should go to sleep so you don't accidently oversleep" but I can't seem to land it and I don't want to come across as ordering a person to sleep. Just in a casual way recommending it.Or rather, maybe even saying "even a small nap can't hurt"

I would say... "かなり遅くなったから、寝坊しないように、もう寝た方がいいんじゃない?/ 寝た方がいいと思うよ。" 遅い [ おそい] late 寝坊する [ ねぼう ] to oversleep ~した方がいい [ should... ] Hope this helps. :)

Using the simplest grammar possible: ごめんね、ちょっと疲れた。 Im sorry, I'm a bit tired. - Most people would understand and know that it's time to go to bed. Little more advanced: 遅くなってるから、寝りましょう。 Because it's getting late, let's go to sleep. (although looking at it, it kinda sounds like you want to sleep with that person haahhaa) If I was to translate "it is pretty late, perhaps you should go to sleep so you don't accidently oversleep" かなり遅くなってるし、寝坊かもし、寝ることがほうがいいと思う。 Literally: Because it's getting late, and because we might oversleep, going to sleep is better I think. Or better yet, you could say "the night is finished I think" 今夜は終わりと思う I don't know. That's the beauty of language, you can say something in so many different ways. Anyways good luck with your studies! 一所懸命勉強しなさい!

もう寝るよ、おやすみ。 I wanna sleep. Good night! Don't worry about other people,worry about your health. If you go to bet first, nobody complan abou you. Most of Japanese will read your mind easily , so you don't need to hide your mind. In another word , no way to hide your mind.
