tuckered out
Ready for bed
Tuckered out means exhausted or worn out, usually from physical exertion or a long day: The kids were completely tuckered out after the hike.
The expression is informal and has a folksy, American flavor.
Tucker alone can mean to tire, though it rarely appears without the particle.
