peaceful rest

Calm, undisturbed sleep

Peaceful rest describes a state of undisturbed calm or sleep, free from anxiety or agitation.

The phrase often appears in contexts of death as a gentle euphemism: May she find peaceful rest.

For the living, it suggests restorative quiet: After weeks of chaos, she finally got some peaceful rest.
