bed checks
Verifying occupant presence
Bed checks are inspections to verify that people are in their beds at a designated time, typically in institutional settings like dormitories, military barracks, summer camps, or treatment facilities.
Staff conduct bed checks to enforce curfews, ensure safety, or confirm residents haven't left without permission: The counselors do bed checks at eleven.
