$\large{\boxed{\sf{Explanation}}}$

• We're asked to change the given sentence to indirect speech.
• First we have removed the inverted commas (“ ”) from the sentence.
• Next we have change the word "said" as "told" in the sentence.
• Then, we should add suitable conjunction before the direct statement. So, "that" is added.
• Here, in direct speech, it is given in past simple tense. If the direct speech is in present simple tense, it should be changed to past perfect tense in indirect speech. Hence, "slept" is changed to "had slept".
• And finally the sentence should be ended with a full stop and we're done.
