In English, we have lots of ways to say that we are going to bed to sleep: ‘up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire’, ‘hit the hay’, ‘beddybies’, ‘hit the sack‘ to mention a few. And it turns out, so do the Swedes. ‘Gå till sängs’ ( go to bed) is probably the most common, and literal. Here are a few other examples:
’Dags att koja’ – time to go to bed (Koja is a small hut, or a bunk on a boat)
‘Nu ska jag gå lägga mig’ – now I’m going to lie down
‘krypa till kojs’ – creep to the hut / bunk
‘Knyta sig’ – knot yourself – similar to curl up
‘Slagga’ – similar to crash out
What other expressions for going to bed do you know?
