sleep like a log
Rest without stirring
To sleep like a log is to sleep deeply and soundly, without stirring or waking.
The comparison is to an inert piece of timber—motionless, insensible to disturbance: After the hike, I slept like a log.
The phrase emphasizes the quality of sleep rather than its duration.
