David: "Mary, all you do is shout at me. Paul says that his wife Diane never shouts at him. I wish you would take a leaf out of her book."

to sleep like a log

The Beatles used this idiom in their song Hard Day's Night, together with the idiom
"to work like a dog" which means to work very hard:

This saying was famously used in the film The Wizard of Oz, where the character Dorothy has to say 'there's no place like home' three times in order to return home.

The Astronomer  - AN ASTRONOMER used to go out at night to observe the stars. One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well.
