Are You Comfortable Sleeping in Public? - Page 3

**theiceman** · 03-17-2012, 08:09 PM

No, you never know what other people are going to do to you while you are sleeping. I'm just to paranoid to fall asleep for long periods of time in public.

However, I have nodded off during lectures.

I'd be afraid to sleep in public, and I'm not sure I could sleep like that anyway.

**WillBrazil** · 03-18-2012, 02:23 PM

I see no problem.
Sometimes I sleep on the bus or on classes(rare). At university, once in a while I sleep in a couch, after having lunch.

Not that I like... but sometimes I just need to sleep...

I have trouble sleeping with anyone in the room. I hate it, and end up sleeping very shallowly and fitfully. I'm in a position where I have to have people (people I know, but still) in the room and I absolutely hate it. Unfortunately, at the moment there's not anything I can do about it, but that should be changing soon (it needs to, I'm going mad). On nights I can sleep undisturbed I end up oversleeping because I know the door's locked and I'm not vulnerable, and that there will be no one walking in to get something, no one talking, no children pulling my hair or crawling on me, and I can FINALLY relax for real and not just attempt to ignore people around me.

Happened couple of times, involuntarily, because I was so sleep deprived, my body started entering microsleep phases, totally fucked up. Never take sleep for granted.

I am a light sleeper, but I will sleep in public, only if I have friends close by and as long as they are not asleep at the same time as me.

I sleep anywhere and anytime especially in motor vehicles be it a car or plane but never on a motorcycle. With a hoodie and my trusty mp3 player, Goodbye world.

Never had to worry about being robbed as I dont carry often carry things of great value, even if I do tend to secure in a way that you will wake me(light sleeper) if you even attempted.

I fall asleep in the window seats at the library all the time on warm, sunny days and on the beach or benches in parks or surrounding the outside of my university. I'm sort of like a cat in that right

Except at night I need it to be pitch black with a fan blaring white noise for me to sleep unless I'm truly exhausted. I need natural light and warmth or a vacuum of blackness and drowned silence. Ah...I love to sleep....

Ha, same here. There's just something refreshing about sleeping in the library, or under the sun on a breezy day.

I also understand your need for complete darkness at night. The fan thing, however... blarg. I need silence.

I'll regularly fall asleep in between classes at school, just so long as I have a friend nearby to wake me up in case I need to. I prefer to fall asleep when I'm bored and not able to do what I want rather than at home where I'm more awake and interested.

**mieu** · 06-09-2012, 06:22 AM

I've catnapped in train stations (and on trains, planes, etc). I can sleep just about anywhere, from a comfort stance. I just position myself somewhere that most wouldn't see me right away, then lay on top of my purse or whatever I'm carrying and set my alarm to go off every ten minutes or something.

**HeavyRain** · 06-09-2012, 06:06 PM

Hell yes I can. Airports, public transit, cars, park benches, picnic tables, classrooms... My best high school memory was falling asleep in the foyer and waking up with five or six more napping around me. I just put a paper or hat over my face and call it good.

**Knighthkm** · 06-09-2012, 08:47 PM

Ill sleep in public just not around my devious friends :0

**seeyouatx** · 06-09-2012, 08:57 PM

No. I can hardly sleep in my bed much less in strange places.

Othesemo · 06-09-2012, 08:58 PM

On a plane or somesuch, yes, but I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping in a park or anything like that. Basically, I would only sleep in public if I knew that nobody there was in a position to take advantage of it.

**SwedenF** · 06-10-2012, 09:39 PM

Intentionally? Never. I couldn't even if I tried. I sleep very deeply when I sleep, I'm totally out, and I wouldn't be able to relax knowing I'd become that vulnerable. I find it hard to sleep in a hotel because I don't quite feel safe, so, yeah.... not going to happen.

I have however dozed off against my will due to severe sleep deprivation. Once on a train, and a whole lot in class. I need to do something to keep myself awake, and when on a train or in class, that's rather hard.

There is one exception to this, which is air planes. I absolutely love flying, and feel quite safe, for some strange reason. I've taken the 6:35 flight from Stockholm to Madrid at least 10 times, which forces me to leave my house at about 4am. Very tired + nothing to do + feel safe = zzzzz.
