flatlining for sleeping????
So I'm writing a story and am not sure if I can use 'flatlining' as a synonym for 'sleeping'. I feel like I have heard a native speaker use it like that before, but can't find anything on it. Could anyone please tell me if you can use it like that and if it's something anyone would commonly say?
Guys, can someone explain why the answer to this is "may" and not "could"?
