A short sleep

[towcats1]

Is it correct to say short sleeps?

No. Do you mean "naps"?

No. Is it correct to say to someone "sweet sleeps"? I don't mean "naps" but "sleeps".

I have never heard of somebody "sweet sleeping". I have no idea what it is supposed to mean.

When you are sleeping like an infant.

Waking up every three hours to cry and eat?

Perhaps you mean sleeping soundly.

A line by a comic: "He slept like a baby. He woke up every hour and cried."

You are joking! I mean the suffix "s".

 

[Tarheel]

1. That is a joke (as should be clear).
2. The "s" is not a suffix.
3. A short sleep is a nap.

How should I name the 's'? For the third-person singlar simple present verb?

The "s" is just the third person singular present tense ending. That tense "takes an 's' at the end of regular verbs". You don't need to "name" the 's'.
