6. Some nice English goodnight wishes
- Good night, sleep tight: This phrase was used when mattresses were primarily made by tightly knitting ropes together. 'Tight' here means the tight knit of the ropes. 'Sleep tight' is another way of saying 'sleep well'.
- Time to hit the hay: This phrase means it's time to go to sleep. It started being used in the 18th to 19th centuries when people primarily slept on mattresses made of dry grass or hay.
- Time to hit the sack: This phrase also means it's time to go to sleep, synonymous with 'time to hit the hay', so they can be used interchangeably.
- Sleep like a log: A log is a part of a tree (a branch, a piece of wood) that has been cut down. Hence, it can't move much, much like a person sleeping on a bed. It means someone is sleeping soundly.
- Sleep snug as a bug in a rug: This phrase means someone is sleeping very comfortably and cozily. Literally, it refers to a caterpillar curled up in a blanket.
