sleep on
Consider until morning
Sleep on means to postpone a decision until the next day, allowing time for reflection: Let me sleep on it and get back to you tomorrow.
The idea is that rest and distance bring clarity—you'll know better in the morning.
The phrase almost always appears as sleep on it.
