Im in bed vs Im on bed

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I'm in bed' is the more common and natural way to express that you are lying down on a bed, ready to sleep or relax. 'I'm on bed' is less common and might be used in specific situations where you want to emphasize being physically on top of the bed rather than under the covers.
