sacking out

Going to sleep

Sacking out means going to sleep or settling in for rest, often with a sense of collapsing into bed after exhaustion: I'm beat—time to sack out.

The phrase suggests informal, unplanned sleep rather than a proper bedtime routine.

To sack out somewhere is to sleep there, usually temporarily: We sacked out on the couch after the party.
