Definition

An overwhelming, almost carnal craving for sleep that hits you when you see a particularly inviting bed or cozy spot. It's like regular lust but for unconsciousness, and somehow even more intense after a 12-hour shift.

Example Usage

I walked past the hotel's luxury bedding display and felt such intense restlust I almost checked in on the spot.
