Dear 1717,
To make a suggestion without seeing and feeling things, is just that, a suggestion.
How much time do you sit up in bed? probably not much. In the bed, it's about the top of your head facing a good direction, Not having your feet point out the door, and ideally being able to see the door.
I'm not sure what you are getting to about your living room and the front door.
Best,
Shawn
