The Sleeper Sweeper-Off-er

How convenient, I've always wanted to be able to knock everything on my desk onto the floor while I sleep on my minuscule, mile-high bed -- this is just perfect!!!!

Another gem from Freshome. This one is for "teen bedroom layouts" ... which got me to thinking, "how would I have slept in this space when I was a teen?" ... which requires a bit of visual demonstration:

First thinks first- you should know that I am:
A) short for my age .
B) a moderate-to-extremely restless sleeper.
C) extremely nit-picky.

Step 1: Preparation
Notice how the bedding has sleeping-bag-like qualities of snuggness without the sleeping-bag-like qualities of flexibility? In order to even contemplate sleeping here, you will need to untuck this bed which has been... I would say unbelievably well tucked... except for the fact that I'm about 87% sure this is rendering.
Now we begin the climb. Unless you were prepared and brought your mountain climbing equipment, you will have to do what I did as a child and use the drawers as steps up into the bed:
Step 2: Sleep
seems simple enough....
Step 3: Sweep
After about six and half minutes of slumber you'll start to shift around in an attempt to get comfortable on your 3" slab of foam.
If you were awake, you might start to regret untucking the bed as your bedroom accessories go flying through the room one restless limb twitch at a time.
Step 4: Did We Have an Earthquake Last Night?
I don't even know.
Step 5: Inevitably Succumbing to Gravity
You'll eventually loose your perch on the edge of the chair and complete your journey to the cold hard ground.
Step 6: Seeking Refuge
Before long you'll get cold and your shelter-seeking instincts will kick-in and you will root around for a bit before finding a slighty-softer-than-hardwood small enclosed space in which you can wedge a fair amount of your body in an attempt to stay warm for the rest of the night.
Even if you wake up at this point and see the destruction, you will still end up in this position because it'd be too much work to put your room back together in the middle of the night... and pointless too, you'd just end up back on the floor in an hour or so anyway.
