What is "loose sleep"?

[Tranny]

Hello,

Does anyone know what the meaning of Loose Sleep is? I saw a show on TV and caught that phrase in this sentence: "He doesn't loose sleep over me."

Thanks a bunch!

"He doesn't loose sleep over me."

Your sentence is not English. What you really heard was:

"He doesn't lose sleep over me."

Loose is an adjective with several meanings: not firmly or tightly fixed in place; not fitting tightly; relaxed, not strict.

Lose is a verb meaning be deprived of or cease to have.

Lose is pronounced with a /z/ sound (/looz/).
Loose is pronounced with an /s/ sound (/loos/).

You probably didn't hear the /z/ sound because of the /s/ sound in sleep.

The meaning is something like:

He doesn't care about me. He doesn't worry about me. I don't stop him sleeping.
