Vocabulary
turn in = go to bed?
Turn in: to go to bed <turned in early> (from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/turn%20in)
I used "turn in" instead of "go to bed" But the meaning was not understood well.
The exact sentence I made in this context is this.
A: I have many things to do tonight. (or something like this..)
B: When are you turning in?
A bulabulabula..
Can't I say "B" instead of "when are you going to bed?"
Or should I say "What time are you turning in?"

Hi,
I say 'turn in' sometimes, but I wouldn't be surprised if young people today don't know it. In the same way, I don't know a lot of their idioms.
