turning in

Going to bed

Turning in covers several acts of submission or surrender.

You turn in an assignment when you submit it: I turned in my paper late.

You turn in a criminal when you report them to authorities, and you can turn yourself in.

To turn in for the night is to go to bed: I'm exhausted—I'm turning in early.
