Heavy, Deep or Dead Sleep? I am wondering which adjective is better to describe sleeping well; 1) heavy sleep 2) deep sleep 3) dead sleep My dictionay gives me above three expressions, but an internet site uses "heavy sleep" to describe "sleeping excessively of sleeping disorders", and "dead sleep" give me an image of "eternal rest of person who has passed away." Is "deep sleep" better expression? Moreover, I would appreciate it if you tell me some atonyms of it. Thank you for reading my question.

None of the above. If you want to describe 'sleeping well,' then the best expression is simply to say 'he slept well,' or 'he had a really good sleep.' You could also say 'he had a really refreshing sleep.' 'Heavy sleep,' and 'dead sleep,' are not used in our language. You might, very occasionally hear somebody say 'he was sleeping like the dead,' to indicate that a person was in a deep sleep. 'Deep sleep,' has two meanings. Firstly it can mean that somebody will sleep through almost any noise. Secondly, it is a recognised stage of the nightly sleep cycle. All normal individuals enter a phase of deep sleep every night. See, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow-wave_sleep
