turn-in

Surrender or sleep

Turn-in is the act of submitting something required or expected: The assignment turn-in is at midnight.

It also names the moment a vehicle begins rotating into a corner, important in racing and driving instruction: His turn-in was too early, and he clipped the apex.

The hyphenated noun form distinguishes it from the verb phrase turn in.
