tossings, restlessness (of sleepless night)
A masculine plural noun describing the physical restlessness and tossing of sleepless nights. Job 7:4 uses it in his complaint about affliction: 'I am sated with tossings until dawn.' The term captures the exhausting motion of someone who cannot find rest, turning repeatedly in search of a comfortable position that never comes. The plural form suggests multiple episodes or continuous motion throughout the night. This is insomnia not as peaceful wakefulness but as active, frustrated restlessness—the body's exhausted attempt to find rest that remains elusive.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Tossings, restless movements—specifically the physical agitation of sleepless suffering. Job 7:4 laments being 'sated with נְדֻדִים (tossings) until dawn,' meaning he spends entire nights in restless motion, unable to find repose. The plural intensifies the sense: not one turn but countless tossings, a night-long wrestling with discomfort. Spanish 'inquietudes' (restlessness/anxieties) broadens to psychological agitation, while English 'tossings' preserves the physical sense. This isn't peaceful insomnia but tortured wakefulness—the body exhausting itself in futile searches for rest, making night as wearisome as day. Job's word choice makes insomnia visceral: you can feel the frustrated turning, the exhausted shifting, the body's rebellion against sleep's absence. 1×
