peaceful sleep

Undisturbed nighttime rest

Peaceful sleep is rest that is deep, undisturbed, and free from anxiety or agitation.

The phrase often appears in contexts of death, where it serves as a gentle euphemism: She passed away in her peaceful sleep.

For the living, it suggests restorative slumber without nightmares or restlessness: The baby finally drifted into a peaceful sleep.
