Watch the preposition and the ending together. Resting in bed is , with no accusative, because nothing is moving; climbing into it is , with -n, because something is. Esperanto marks that difference on the noun rather than by swapping preposition, which is one of the tidier things the language does. For the whole ritual there is enlitiĝi, to turn in for the night, and ellitiĝi to get up, both built from with the usual --. o covers the bedding.
