Bedroom Risks:

Tripping and falling: Ensure your bedroom is well-organized, with clear pathways and no clutter on the floor like loose cables. Use proper lighting to improve visibility during nighttime movements.

Remedy: I'll keep my bedroom tidy, place a nightlight, and consider using rugs or mats to decrease the likelihood of me slipping on wooden floors.
