2019年4月12日 · The idiom sleep like a log, ‘sleep well, soundly’, does not emerge in English until the beginning of the 19th century, first in American, then British sources, at least among those readily available online: 11 [Dec. 1808, London].

I believe that many, or in fact, most of you have heard the phrase "sleep like a baby". But actually, where does the phrase originate from? Personally, I don't think using baby is a good reference as babies usually wake up crying at night or wake up and scream every 3 hours asking for milk.

2014年12月6日 · Irrespective of the context, it is either "what it looks like" or "how it looks", not "how it looks like". However, let me add that as much as it is grammatically incorrect, you can find any number of occurrences of the phrase in daily use. You will not see "how it looks like" in the writing of learned English users, though.
