sleep together
Be physically intimate
Sleep together is a euphemism for having sex, typically implying a relationship rather than a casual encounter: They'd been sleeping together for months before anyone found out.
The phrase needn't involve actual sleep—it's about sharing a bed for intimate purposes.
Are they sleeping together? asks about a sexual relationship, not sleeping arrangements.
