lies down
Assumes prone position
Lies down describes the act of moving from a standing or sitting position to a horizontal one, typically on a bed, couch, or other surface.
It's what you do when you're tired, feeling unwell, or just want to rest: I need to lie down for a few minutes.
The phrase can also describe settling into position more generally: The dog lies down at my feet every evening.
