lie down
Assume resting position
To lie down is to recline—to move from standing or sitting to a horizontal position, typically on a bed, couch, or floor: I need to lie down for a few minutes.
The phrase often implies rest or recovery: The doctor told her to lie down until the dizziness passed.
To take something lying down is to accept it without protest.
