What the fuck does sleeping tight mean?
The apocryphal story is that beds used to be supported/made of many ropes that would regularly need to be tightened to maintain form. So it was a reminder to snug up on these ropes.
Indian charpai beds are made with braided cords over a mahogany frame. Surely not related, just a fun fact.
J'ai toujours cru que ça voulait dire de dormir bien bordé.
Opposite of loose. Duh.
