按照牛津字典的解釋，副詞tightly在17世紀(jì)晚期的意思是soundly, properly或well。莎士比亞《溫莎的風(fēng)流娘兒們》（The Merry Wives of Windsor）有這樣的句子"Hold Sirha, beare you these letters tightly." 18世紀(jì)晚期tight有soundly（熟睡的）, roundly（完全的）的意思。1898瑪麗-阿奈特-馮-阿尼姆在她的《伊莉莎白和她的德國(guó)花園》(Elizabeth and Her German Garden)里寫"She had been so tight asleep."
Good night, sleep tight,
Wake up bright
In the morning light
To do what's right
With all your might.
大多數(shù)美國(guó)兒童可能對(duì)下面這段形成于19世紀(jì)的兒歌更為熟悉："Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite."
