When one worries over an important matter or an upcoming event, can't sleep because of noise or for no apparent reason, `잠을 설쳤다[jameul seolcheotda]' is used to convey the idea that s/he did not sleep well. The verb `설쳤다[seolcheotda]' conveys the idea of a restless night, the feeling of ``being caught in limbo.'
