सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Ondol' heating system meant the floor was the center of life. '잠자리' refers to the specific spot on the floor where bedding was laid out each night and folded away each morning. Despite the prevalence of beds, the phrase is still used. However, '수면' (sleep - formal) is often used in health contexts, like '수면 부족' (sleep deprivation). In the military, '취침' is the official term. At a specific time, the command '취침!' is given, and all soldiers must enter their '잠자리'. It's common for young children to sleep in the same '잠자리' as their parents until they reach school age, a practice that emphasizes family bonding.
