Also means
to lie down
Usage Note
Tumbar means to knock something or someone over: a punch can tumbar a fighter, wind can tumbar a tree. Reflexively, tumbarse means to lie down or stretch out — very common in informal speech for taking a nap: me voy a tumbar un rato (I'm going to lie down for a bit). This reflexive sense is more colloquial than acostarse.
Examples
"El viento tumbó varios árboles del parque."
Natural Translation
The wind knocked down several trees in the park.
