Ok this might be a bit of a stretch but imagine the 自 on top of the character as your head cause its YOUR (自己的）head RESTING on top of the heart radical.

I know that this character is heart because the top part of the character looks like a heart, and then the bottom part is not only the heart radical but also looks like veins and arteries flowing out from the heart

the heart radical is being pressed down by the upper part, so the hearbeat becomes slower. as a result, you rest.

I see the sun at the top, with a guy resting under the sun seen in the heard radical, therefore representing “to rest”.

There is a box shaped radical ontop of the heart radical, so there is a weight on your heart and you need to REST.

🫀Although I know it is not the character for bed. It reminds me of a mattress sitting on your heart. you have to rest in order to heal your body and your spirit.

the heart radical looks like a person sitting down with their legs crossed. the top radical looks like a head, so put together it looks like a person meditating, which can be a form of rest.
