(subtype)	new
(headw1)	ごろっと
(pos)	adverb
(english1)	-
(reference)	from my "長沼・新現代日本語・III・中級”textbook, chapter 2, p.9,refering to a 和室 that can be a dining room, bed room, study room etc. depending on the situation:
つかれた時にはごろっと横になって、テレビを見る居間にも早がわりします。
(comment)	Cant really express it well in english so i didnt give an english meaning. In the case of ごろっと寝る it apparently means to take a nap e.g. drooping on the floor or on the couch as opposed to going to bed properly.
