I could say «I am leaving the day after tomorrow,» but what if I want to reference the night before last night? Do I say, «I left the night before last night»? What do native speakers say both formally and informally in particular?
I researched the question but could not find a clear definite answer, and I do not want to speculate.

The phrase the night before last night is exactly how I’d reference it, although, in many contexts – and that includes informal contexts – I’d typically leave off the second night:
I left the night before last.

overmorrow and ereyesterday are the two related words that might be of interest, but they are not in (common) use anymore. Source: Wiktionary
As mentioned in snailboat’s comment, do not use these words as they are obsolete.

Hello,
Let’s say, today is Friday, and I was referring to Wednesday at night. That night I slept only one hour an a half.
1. I slept only one hour and a half the night before last. (I think it’s English. But it sounds a bit awkward, maybe because I don’t hear it often)
2. Two nights ago, I slept only one hour and a half. (I’m not sure if it is even English!)
Other suggestions are welcome.

«Night before last» sounds normal to me, AS. So does «two nights ago».
-
#3
Same here. I agree with Mr. Owl.
-
#4
Both sound fine to me too. I’d most likely use «the night before last». For Tuesday night it would have to be «three nights ago».

It’s OK but I would change the word order:
I only slept for an hour and a half the night before last.
Or, even more idiomatic in the UK:
I only got an hour and a half’s sleep the night before last.

The omission of «the» in my answer was an error, Uncle Jack. I too would use «the night before last» rather than «night before last.»

Thanks for the confirmation, Uncle Jack.

I didn’t notice the error owlman5. I read it with the article the.

Once? Actually more, I read about adverb placement and how it could change the meaning, and the favorite adverb to illustrate the idea in ESL textbooks was the adverb only.
Based on what I have understood from those rules, your rewrite focuses on the action, the verb sleep, and says you only slept and did nothing else while the original example focuses on the number and says my sleep was only for that number, 1.5 hours.
Honestly, I felt those rules are theoretical and did not feel they reflect the way people speak.
Or, even more idiomatic in the UK:
I only got an hour and a half’s sleep the night before last.
This is more like it as mine was more like one part of giving an account of series of events: narrative style.
And by the way I noticed that your placement of only is still the same.
Thank you all for your helpful comments.

It’s too much off topic to discuss it, really, but I am telling you the way I’d say it.
There are no “rules” you know, there are patterns and conventions which the books try to outline for you.
