Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Many consider Macbeth’s sleeplessness to be the product of his guilty conscience after he murders Duncan for the throne.
Detailed explanation-2: -After Macbeth murders King Duncan, he’s so unnerved that he can’t move. Staring at his bloody hands, he tells his wife that as he left the King’s chamber, he heard two men in another room: “There’s one did laugh in’s sleep, and one cried ‘Murder!’ “ (2.2. 20).
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth goes on to say what Lady Macbeth has already said to herself: that it would be better to be dead than to live like this. And like Lady Macbeth, Macbeth expresses envy of Duncan, because “After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well” (3.2. 23).
