To retire for sleep.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'lit' is often considered a private sanctuary. Inviting someone 'au lit' has strong romantic connotations, but 'aller au lit' alone is strictly routine. In Quebec, 'aller se coucher' is perhaps even more common than 'aller au lit', but both are understood and used. In some regions, 'aller au lit' might be replaced by 'aller se reposer' (to go rest), which is seen as more polite. Belgians use 'aller au lit' identically to the French, often followed by the wish 'Bonne nuit et dormez bien'.
