Welcome to English in a Minute, when you listen to American English, you will probably hear this idiom: Sleep like a rock. How does a rock sleep? Let's listen.
---I remember you said you were getting a new bed last weekend. How do you like it?
---I love it. My old bed totally bit the dust, but the new mattress is great. I slept like a rock last night.
---That is good to know. I have not been sleeping well at all lately. Maybe I should get a different mattress, too.
If you slept like a rock, you slept very well. You cannot wake a rock, because it is not alive. You can also say you slept like a log, to mean the same thing. And that's English in a minute.
