'Catch forty winks' hay 'take forty winks/ have forty winks' = 40 cái nháy mắt ;) -> chợp mắt hoặc ngủ một giấc ngắn.

Ví dụ
The England winger (cầu thủ biên) uploaded footage of his teammate trying to catch forty winks to social media, with center back Dejan Lovren checking on the forward moments later.

The portable bed (giường có thể mang theo) could be useful for livestock (thú nuôi) wagon (xe chở hàng) drivers looking to catch forty winks during mandatory (bắt buộc) tachograph (đồng hồ tốc độ) rest stops and extended periods of waiting

Announcing (thông báo) this on its Facebook page on Monday (Sept 10), the university said: "Take a snooze (giấc ngủ ngắn): Other than hitting the books (học bài) at the NTU Library, you can now catch forty winks too at this new rest pod at the #NTUsg Lee Wee Nam Library."
