stretch out
Lie down lengthwise
To stretch out is to extend the body to full length, typically when lying down or reclining: She stretched out on the couch.
It also means to extend something in space or time—stretching out your legs, stretching out a meeting.
The phrase suggests relaxed expansion rather than urgent extension: We stretched out the evening with another bottle of wine.
