resting easy

Calm and unbothered

Resting easy means being free from worry or anxiety, able to relax without nagging concerns.

Someone who can rest easy has resolved what troubled them or feels confident about an outcome: Once the test results came back negative, she could finally rest easy.

The phrase often appears as reassurance: You can rest easy knowing the house is insured.
