Why do adults say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up every few hours?
<|assistant|>
Adults often claim they "sleep like a baby" because they only need to be refreshed after a longer period of time, usually several hours. This comparison implies that babies sleep for long periods at a time, however, it is important to remember that the quality of their sleep and their waking pattern is much different than in an adult. As a result of this unique quality, it is possible for a baby to sleep for extended periods and still appear to "wake up every few hours" in contrast to an adult.
