The phrase "After a long day, I couldn't wait to hit the sack" is an idiom. It uses figurative language to convey the idea of going to bed to sleep without literally referring to hitting a sack.

  • Personification involves giving human traits to non-human things.
  • Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally.
  • Onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate sounds.
  • Alliteration involves the repetition of the same initial consonant sound in a series of words.

In this case, the phrase fits the idiom category best.
