go to bed

Call it night

Go to bed means to retire for sleep, typically at the end of the day: I usually go to bed around eleven.

The phrase extends to sexual activity: They went to bed together after the party.

To go to bed with an idea is to consider it overnight: Let me go to bed with that proposal and get back to you.
