Chinese Saying: Sleep like a Pig
I'm not exactly sure why a pig is referenced instead of any other animal, but as you might have guessed, this means sleeping very well and very deep. Westerners 'Sleep like a Log', which to me is equally as confusing as logs do not sleep. Western saying also include "Sleep like the dead", but this is a major no-no in Chinese Culture to referring to the dead in just anything. Very, very taboo. So don't do that.
