The hands are busy

Figuratively: hands tend to touch and feel.

("The sages say: A person may sleep in tefillin for an incidental nap, but not for a fixed sleep... One who comes to sleep by day may, if he wishes, remove them; if he wishes, keep them on. At night, he removes them and does not put them on... If he forgot and had marital relations while wearing tefillin, he must not hold either the straps or the casing until he washes his hands and takes them, because hands are busy" — Sukkah 26b. And likewise: "Since once a person has slept, it is established that the demons are busy; therefore a person washes his hands and is required to recite a blessing" — Seder Rav Amram Gaon (HaRafens), Seder Pesach. And likewise: "There are busy hands, hands that are busy, that work and do all the things that need to be done" — Berdyczewski, Writings 2, 22.)
