What does sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite means?

"Tight" or "tightly" was a synonym for "well," "good," "properly," etc. in the 19th and early 20th centuries; "sleep tight" therefore simply means "sleep well."The phrase didn't derive from the use of bed ropes on old beds, and is not a very old expression at all. The first known written use of "sleep tight" is from 1866 when Susan Bradford Eppes wrote in her diary, Through Some Eventful Years, "Goodbye little Diary. Sleep tight and wake bright, for I will need you when I return."Also, "bedbugs bite" is simply an extended version of the original "sleep tight" bedtime message, the origin of which is currently unknown and which didn't start to be used until the middle of the 20th century.According to Phrase Finder the myth that the phrase derives from the use of bedropes seems to have stemmed from an episode of the BBC program Antiques Roadshow during which an appraiser told a client the story, and it has been perpetuated; historical house curators have been fighting to correct it ever since.
