Use 'spać' for the general act of sleeping. Common collocations: 'iść spać' (to go to bed) and 'dobranoc' is used when saying good night. Present-tense forms are irregular (e.g. 'śpię' = I sleep, 'śpisz' = you sleep). 'Zasnąć' means to fall asleep, while 'odpoczywać' means to rest rather than specifically sleep.
