On a bench in under construction zone of a subway station. I had to explain security guards hard enough that I was neither homeless nor a terrorist (the security there were pretty much anti-homeless).
Inside a Trojan goat. No, I will not elaborate further.
In the classroom, on the floor, before class started, and was woken up when class was over.
What a nice teacher. :)
In a Walmart parking lot. in a van, with three homies… in a random state. Was it Georgia?
Long story on how I got there but I slept part of a night in the engine car of an old steam train in a city park.
I wanted a nap in undergrad but didn’t have a lot of time between classes so, to avoid being disturbed, I climbed up onto a lecture hall roof to sleep. It was a really nice nap
Edit: also once when I worked at taco bell I napped on the boxes of sauce packets in the back
Just the other day I took a nap in a (dry at the time) runoff ditch behind a commercial plaza, bc if I drove home to nap I would’ve had less time to sleep
This guy naps
In a supposedly haunted revolutionary war cemetery.
An art project/bench outside of my high school the last day of senior year while waiting for friends to finish finals. I forget the term, but the bench was covered in small glass/ceramic pieces to form a pattern on it. Super uncomfortable, would not recommend
Mosaic?
Yes! That is the word I was blanking on!
I’ve slept on airplanes, which tend to fly over just about anywhere along their path, so technically over the top of lots of places, and if at least one of them wasn’t weird I’d be surprised
The cold tile floor of the marching band’s laundry room for about two hours. I had a severe migraine, and for me, that means I’m going to take a nap no matter where I am. It was about as comfortable as you can imagine.
I’m jealous that you can sleep with a migraine. I can’t
Sleep is one of the few things that put a dent in mine. When I started seeing Auras on people it was a sign to go to sleep in the next hour or so or face the weight of the cosmos right behind my left eye.
On a picnic table in a state park. I was sober, just very tired.
Bathtub full of vinegar and water after I got a bad sunburn.
Did that help?
It helped me tolerate the “itching under my skin” sensation but I’m not sure how much of that was just from being in liquid. I don’t recall what the vinegar was supposed to do.
in a forest on a pile of sharp edged boulders
Train station alley in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
Top shelf of a walk in closet that was obscured from view from the door.
Under a futon couch.
On the roof of the house in the angled portion where 2 downward slopes come together.
In the back of a truck in the back yard.
In the middle of a grassy area behind our garage
My parents used to wake me up at 4:30 in the morning to take a cold shower and then spend the next 4 hours doing religious worship. The only time I could read “Horrible secular books” like Mutiny on the Bounty, the three musketeers, and the man in the iron mask was late at night after everyone went to bed. I would stay up till 2:30-3:00am sometimes reading and I knew waking up at 4:30 was just not gonna happen.
Yeah, I got in a bunch of trouble when I came out of my hiding spot the next morning, but sometimes it was worth it.
