Time for a Shugaku/School Trip today. I'm off to bed. Have fun deciding where to sleep among yourselves. Just make sure that you don't cut me off from the aisle. 💤

Rules: Place some non-overlapping 1x2 beds into the grid such that each bed contains a pillow on one of its cells, and that vertically oriented beds do not have the pillow on the top half. Shade all of the non-bed cells such that each bed is orthogonally adjacent to at least one shaded cell, all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected network, and no 2x2 regions of cells are entirely shaded. Cells containing circles cannot be shaded cells nor beds, and if a circle is numbered, it indicates the number of cells containing pillows orthogonally adjacent to it.

This little GAPP 101 might help: Some locations for pillows would force a vertical bed with the pillow at the top.
