Top: roof 宀, below: variant of fragment 爿 (here: as a bed 丬), not yet 未 (The upper shorter branch 一 of the tree 木 is "not yet")

Under the roof there is a bed 爿/丬, but I am not yet (ready) to: sleep.

宀	roof
丬	bed	Simplification of fragment: 爿 which shows a tree split lengthwise. (片 is the other half) - Not at least because of its use with these characters 寐,寝 for 'sleep', it got the meaning of "bed".
未	unripe, not yet	The upper branch of the tree is shorter, thus 'not yet' or immature. Otherwise it means: "the end 末".
