Perhaps most simple to say:

Esta noche espero dormir temprano.
Tonight, I hope to sleep early.

Forget the 'que' and forget the subjunctive.

Puedes añadir el pronombre reflexivo: "Esta noche, espero dormirme temprano". No es necesario, pero suena mejor. - irnalonso, Jul 26, 2012

Espero que duerma temprano esta noche.

You need the subjunctive here because of the phrase "espero que," which is a wish that something happen.

P.s. If you want to say "I hope that I fall asleep early tonight" you'd say-- Espero que me duerma temprano esta noche.

You cant use the subjunctive here since there is no change in subject. as Yahvey said, you just say "espero dormir temprano" - kramer12, Jul 25, 2012
Kramer would change would be needed to engage the use of the subjunctive please? Thanks - Polyglot1day, Jul 26, 2012
In the subjunctive there are 2 clauses: the Primary and the subordinary clause. The subjunctive cannot be used if the same subject appears in both clauses. Thus, you cannot say espero que (yo) duerma. but you can say espero que (el) duerma - kramer12, Jul 26, 2012
kramer thank you - Polyglot1day, Jul 26, 2012
