The idiom "toss and turn" originates from the physical actions of tossing one's body from one side to another while trying to find a comfortable sleeping position. It signifies a state of restlessness or discomfort, especially during the night when one is unable to find a restful position and keeps shifting in bed. The expression has been used for centuries to describe sleeplessness, anxiety, or unease that prevents a person from having a peaceful and undisturbed sleep.
