    It should be "sumimasen, oyasuminasai, gomennasai."
    Sumimasen = excuse me
    Oyasuminasai = good night
    gomennasai = sorry for bothering you


    When you break it down into too many pieces, it tends to muddle the meaning. For example, "oyasumi" can mean "rest," and "nasai" is kind of a nice imperative. But saying oyasuminasai doesn't translate to "please take a rest." It is more in line with the way we use "good night." Hope this helps!
