1-he got into bed. 2-He went into bed.
1-he got into bed.
2-He went into bed.
Do they have some difference of nuance between 1 and 2?
Or totally same meaning ?
It'snot easy to know the usage of 'get'.
Please advise me~!!

"He went into bed" is not generally used. I suppose it would be possible in rare cases in which the subject had been ill for some time but not bedridden; and then the patient became worse and had to be placed in bed. " "He got into bed" does not imply that he moved from one location or status to another.

"He went to bed" means he left the area where he had been and "retired for the night," or "assumed his position in bed."

Can one say: I'm going to sleep and I went to sleep early last night.

These are natural and common.
But they can be ambiguous without context. You might go to bed at ten but not go to sleep until midnight.
We could clear this up by using "I didn't fall asleep until midnight."
Some people go to bed and watch TV. Then they go to sleep later.
They might say, "Turn off the TV. I'm going to sleep now." But they might not fall asleep for another ho

ljswave2-He went into bed.It occurs to me that this could be two prepositions, "He went in to bed," where "in" refers to "into the bedroom," and thence to bed.
He went into the bedroom for the purpose of going to bed.
I'm going in to bed now. This is natural and common.
