Expression: "sleep like a baby"
Meaning: Babies sleep through loud noises and a lot of movement. While the subject of this expression is usually an adult, it means that that person slept through, is sleeping through, or will likely sleep through great disturbances, just like a baby might. This idiom implies that the deep sleep results from being far more tired than normal, perhaps from exhaustion, medication, or other causes.
Example: "I woke up early and worked all day; tonight I'll sleep like a baby."
