丬 bedSimplification 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".
夕 eveningThis radical is similar to moon: 月, but at the evening the moon is not complete and thus only one inner line.
木 tree
