Meaning
Going to bed before late hours.
Cultural Background
Greeks are known for late dinners, so saying you sleep early is a clear sign of a disciplined or busy person. In many Northern European countries, sleeping early is the norm, so this phrase is less of a 'statement' than in Greece.
Verb form
Remember that 'κοιμάμαι' is deponent. It doesn't have an active form like 'κοιμάω' for yourself.
