goes to bed

Calls it night

Goes to bed is the act of retiring for the night, typically to sleep.

The phrase can be literal—She goes to bed at ten—or signal the end of activity: The whole town goes to bed early.

It sometimes implies sexual activity: He goes to bed with a different woman every week.
