out of bed

No longer sleeping

Out of bed describes someone who has risen from sleep, no longer lying down: I've been out of bed since six.

The phrase often emphasizes early rising or the act of getting up: What got you out of bed so early?

To get someone out of bed can mean to rouse them, sometimes for urgent reasons.
