意思
To sleep very deeply
文化背景
The 'dudek' (hoopoe) is a protected bird in Czechia and is often seen as a symbol of the arrival of spring in rural areas. Cottage culture (chalupaření) is huge. Sleeping 'jako dudek' is the ultimate goal of a weekend away from the city. In old village stories, the hoopoe was sometimes called 'smradlavý dudek' (stinky hoopoe) due to its nest, which led to the idea of it being a 'heavy' sleeper that doesn't clean up. Despite being an old idiom, it is frequently used in modern lifestyle blogs and health podcasts discussing sleep hygiene.
Use it in the morning
This is the most natural time to use the phrase. It's a great 'small talk' booster.
Don't pluralize 'dudek' too often
Even if 'we' slept well, 'Spali jsme jako dudek' (singular) is often preferred as a fixed idiom.

常见问题
10 个问题Yes, it's the Hoopoe bird. It has a very distinctive crest and is found in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Usually, no. It implies a long, deep night's sleep. For a nap, you'd just say 'dal jsem si šlofíka'.
Not at all! It's actually quite a sweet and positive thing to say.
Czech uses both! 'Spát jako špalek' (log) is also very common. 'Dudek' is just more colorful.
No, the bird remains 'dudek' regardless of the gender of the sleeper.
It has old roots, but it is still used every day by people of all ages.
Yes, you can, but 'spát jako dudek' is also acceptable for a group as a fixed phrase.
You could say 'spal jsem špatně' or 'celou noc jsem oka nezamhouřil' (I didn't close an eye all night).
No, it's a common noun, so it's lowercase.
Almost, but 'zabitý' is much more intense and informal.
