==American Folklore==
Several variations of the children's rhyme exists whereby the bed bug is mentioned.
{{cquote|Sleep tight<br>
don't let the bed bugs bite,<br>
for if they do, take your shoe<br>
and smack them in two}}
Author is unknown but the first known use of 'Sleep tight' can be found in a 1866 publication by American author Susan Bradford Eppes.
