In a resident's room, their bed may not be placed in what condition?

Placing a bed in direct natural light can potentially create discomfort for the resident. While natural light is beneficial for mood and mental health, excessive sunlight directly on a bed can cause overheating, glare, and may disrupt a resident's sleep cycle. Furthermore, it might prevent the resident from having a restful atmosphere necessary for relaxation and recovery. An ideal placement would allow for a balance of light without it being overwhelming or intrusive.

In contrast, placing the bed in direct view of the public could raise privacy concerns, affecting the dignity and comfort of the resident. A direct path of the door might offer safety for access but could lead to disruptions, and positioning the bed directly next to a wall generally offers more privacy and might help facilitate a more serene environment for the resident.
