معنی
To sleep very deeply.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'stock' (log) is a symbol of the Swedish wilderness. Many Swedes have a strong connection to nature and the 'stuga' (cabin) culture, where sleeping soundly after physical labor in the woods is an idealized experience. The phrase is equally common in Finland-Swedish. Given the similar climate and forestry history, the imagery of the log remains the primary way to describe deep sleep. In the age of sleep trackers and 'sleep hygiene,' this idiom is often used ironically when someone's app shows 100% deep sleep. In old agrarian society, a 'stock' was also used as a bench or a foundation. It represented stability and lack of movement, which translated into the idiom for sleep.
Use it in the morning
This is the most natural time to use the phrase. It's a great 'small talk' opener.
Plural form
If you are talking about yourself and your partner, say 'Vi sov som stockar' (plural).
