:: Summary
This post explains the different theories about the origin of the phrase “sleep tight.”
Some say that the phrase came from the time when strings were tied together to
support the mattress. Others say that it originated because people had to wear tight
clothing to keep out the bugs. Yet another theory is that “tight” used to mean
“soundly, properly, well.”
