If you want to TELL someone to take a nap, you say, "Toma una siesta." It is pronounced, "TOE-mah OOh-nah see-ES-tah." Sites such as learn-spanish.co.il provide audio

Let's go to Sleep = Vamos a Dormir

The verb for 'to go' in Spanish is Ir. It is an irregular stem changing verb and the we (nosotros) form is Vamos.

A = to (when linking or referring to a noun or action)

Dormir = To sleep. This is the infinite form of the verb. You can replace this verb with whatever other verb in the infinite form to express an idea for "us" to do.
