...Where did the phrase, "Good night, sleep tight" come from?"
This is a tough one. Does it have anything to do with sailors in their berths? I have heard it too but that is all I can come up with at the moment.

No, not sailors either
No one has posted on this in awhile. Does that mean I should reveal the answer or just leave you all in suspense? :)

Okay here it is...In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes...when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. That's where the phrase, "good night, sleep tight" came from.

You really want me to come up with another one? I can. I wasn't sure who the next question would fall to. Just let me know & I can come up with something.
