crash out

Fall asleep abruptly

Crash out means to fall asleep quickly, especially from exhaustion: I crashed out on the couch after work.

It can also mean to exit dramatically or fail spectacularly: The favorite crashed out in the first round.

In recent slang, crashing out describes losing composure or acting erratically, often publicly: He crashed out on social media last night.
