I dont sleep well that night vs I didnt sleep well that night

The correct phrase is "I didn't sleep well that night." The use of "didn't" (did not) is the correct past tense form to indicate that the action of sleeping poorly happened in the past. "I don't sleep well that night" is incorrect because it mixes present tense (don't) with past time reference (that night).
