A bedroom is a private room where people usually sleep for the night and/or for relaxation during the day.
Many houses in North America, Australia and Europe have at least two bedrooms – usually a master bedroom (dedicated to the heads of the household, such as a husband and wife) and one or more bedrooms for either the children or guests.
In some jurisdictions there are basic features (such as a closet and a “means of egress”) which a room must have in order to be qualify as a bedroom. Nevertheless, some real estate agents may stretch the definition when listing a home for sale.[citation needed]
In buildings with multiple self-contained housing units (e.g., apartments), the number of bedrooms vary widely. While many such units have at least one bedroom-frequently, these units have at least two-some of these units may not have a specific room dedicated for use as a bedroom.
