Interviewer instructions
This information provides a measure of how crowded the house is, and reflects the socio-economic condition of the household. A room in this case refers to a special area with a permanent partition that is used for sleeping. It is not necessarily the number of rooms in the household that are called 'bedrooms', but rather how many rooms get used for sleeping on a regular basis, by the household members. Exclude rooms that are used only for sleeping by visitors to the household, but include those rooms that may not be regular 'bedrooms' but may be regularly used by one or more of the household members for sleeping. For example, if a household member regularly sleeps in the kitchen, it should be counted as a 'room used for sleeping'.
Record the number of rooms in this household that are used for sleeping.
