When the Haste spell ends on a creature, do attackers have advantage against that creature?

The rules for the haste spell state the following:




When the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.



--- Player's Handbook p. 250




Does this give attackers an advantage against you as you cannot move? What about making Strength/Dexterity saves during this period? I find it unclear as to what it means by 'can’t move or take actions'?

    If it meant the "Stunned" condition, it would say so. The only ambiguity in my eyes is whether "actions" includes Bonus Actions. I think so.

It means exactly what it says: No movement (speed becomes 0) and no Actions (action, bonus action or reaction). The rest of the mechanics apply normally, no disadvantage, Saves as needed. It doesn't say that any specific Condition applies, so nothing else matters...

    @Vadruk: That is according to the answer with fewer upvotes. While reactions may be a "special kind of action", there's no rule that says things that prevent actions also prevent reactions (and, in fact, everything that prevents reactions specifically says so, separately from actions). They are "special", after all.

Tårekanal

Tåreapparatet ( a ) Tårekjertel ( b ) Øvre tårepunkt ( c ) Øvre tårekanalikkel ( d ) Tåresekk ( e ) Nedre tårepunkt ( f ) Nedre tårekanalikkel ( g ) Tårekanal Tårekanalen eller nase-tårekanalen (av latin ductus nasolacrimalis ) er ein ductus som frakter overflødige tårer frå tåresekken til nasehola. Opninga inn mot nedre nasegang er delvis tildekt av ei ufullstendig slimhinnefold kalla Hasners ventil. Overflødige tårer strøymer gjennom tårekanalen og trekker inn i nedre nasegang. Dette er grunnen til at ein kan få rennande nase når ein gret, og at ein somme gonger kan kjenne saltsmaken av tårer i munnen. Både tårekanalen og tåresekken er tekt med fleirlaga sylinderepitel som inneheld slimproduserande begerceller, og er begge omgjevne av bindevev. Dakryostenose (tårekanalstenose) er ei innsnevring av tårekanalen som fører til epifora, ei overflod av tårer. Medfødd dakryostenose kan føra til cystisk utviding av tårekanalen ved at det dannast ein dakryocystocele. Personar m...
