VERY OT: words that mean sleep

It’s 4:41 AM here, and I’m bored. Help me think of words or phrases that imply sleep.

E.G.

Doze
Hit the sack
Curl up
Nap
Be visited by the sandman
Nod off

Edit (4:47): Get some shut-eye

Edit (5:08) starting to get light out, better go try and… uhh… you know

Catch some Zzzz’s

These are two words that usually put me to sleep… John Tesh.

But this one, for obvious reasons, does the trick… Yanni…alternate spelling: Yawn-ni. :smiley:

I’m currently watching an infomercial for Chef Toni’s (Of miracle blade perfection series fame) ultamate chopper. It’s actually quite exciting. Or maybe thats the sleep deprivation. Must… go… to… bed…

to have a kip,
snooze,
crash out,
slumber,

Doss off.

Get the head down.

Hit the wooden road. (go upstairs to bed)

" Sleep,the death of each days life."
Shakespeare.

Slan,
D.

Hit the hay

Bagging zzz’s

Off to dreamland
