How it's used
This phrase specifically describes the physical act of getting into a horizontal position on a bed, often implying the transition from being active to resting. It is more descriptive than just saying 瞓覺, as it emphasizes the movement of settling down. You will frequently hear it used when someone is complaining about being exhausted or struggling to sleep.
Examples
I fell asleep the moment I lay down on the bed.
