뜻
Lying down to rest.
문화적 배경
The 'Pech' (Russian Stove) was the traditional place to 'лечь спать' in villages. It was the warmest spot in the house, reserved for children and the elderly. In big cities like Moscow, 'лечь спать' is often delayed until 1-2 AM. Russians are known for being 'night owls' compared to some Western European cultures. It is considered bad luck to 'лечь спать' with your feet facing the door. This is associated with how a coffin is carried out of a house. The concept of 'Тихий час' (Quiet Hour) in kindergartens and sanatoriums is a mandatory time to 'лечь спать' during the day.
