What does this mean?
ぐっすり眠ってちょうだい
I had a friend message it to me on Discord but I'm not quite sure what it means. I know 眠って has to do with sleep but what about ぐっすり　and ちょうだい.

I said goodnight so I'm guessing they're saying something along the lines of have a good sleep?

with ちょうだい the person is urging you to go to sleep, in a casual/friendly manner.
Works similar with please.

ぐっすり = well
ちょうだい = please

We just say おやすみ.
