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".
