Because of his guilt in the death of Duncan and the witches prophesied that he would find the forest moving towards the castle and this scared him.
it simply means, that when he killed the king, he also killed sleep. Macbeth now wont be able to sleep because of the guilt of killing the king
"Sleep no more, Macbeth doth murder sleep."
i should know this im doing it for my GCSE's it means that Macbeth has 'killed' his sleep, he will not be able to fall asleep because of the guilt for murdering king duncan. i hope this makes sense!!
because Lady Macbeth talks about the murder, and the Lady in waiting has no witness for her speech
Yes, but only after Duncan's murder. As Macbeth thought he heard, "Macbeth shall sleep no more," because he murdered sleep. He murdered Duncan in his sleep and his guilt murders his sleep. Lady Macbeth is also effected by all of this. Later in the play, she sleep walks and tries to wash the blood off of her hands, which symbolizes her unending guilt. She is reliving the nights that Duncan and Banquo were murdered and she is so paranoid that she must sleep with a candle so that she is not murdered in her sleep like Duncan. She is so guilty that she eventually commits suicide.

"Sleep no more, Macbeth doth murder sleep."
Of course, Lady Macbeth has her famous sleepwalking scene in which she not only walks but talks in her sleep. It is clear that she is disturbed and unable to sleep properly. Indeed it is a recurring theme that the Macbeths have, by committing their crime, deprived themselves of a good night's sleep. A voice tells Macbeth as he murders Duncan, "Sleep no more, Macbeth hath murdered sleep." Later he expresses envy for Duncan because, "after life's fitful fever he sleeps well", and still later Lady Macbeth tells him, "you lack the season of all natures, sleep." which suggests that Macbeth has not been sleeping well.

The voice tells Macbeth that he will never sleep peacefully again because he has committed murder. It also hints that Macbeth's actions will come back to haunt him in the future.
He has imagined someone saying that he has killed sleep, and that Macbeth will sleep no more. This means that no visitor will be safe in Macbeth's home, for they can be doomed to the same fate King Duncan had endured. Because of his guilt, Macbeth will no longer sleep peacefully.
In Macbeth, insomnia is a symbol for guilt. "Macbeth hath murdered sleep, the innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the ravel'd sleeve of care . . ."
Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to hide his emotions and actions.
After killing Duncan, Macbeth could not sleep. He feels the guilt and is terrified
