Have You Ever Slept in Car At Night?

Postby JASPREET » 27 Nov 2024, 08:09

There are times when we are either unable to find a suitable place to sleep or hotels are quite expensive and don't have any other place to go and we have no other option and need to sleep in the car.

Personally I have never experienced this. What About you?

Back when I was much younger, I often traveled far enough that I had to stop for a rest along the way. I never wanted to spend the money for a motel, so would just pull into a rest stop to take a nap while still sitting in the car. Some naps were only an hour or so but some were all the way to dawn the next day. Whenever I woke up, I would visit the rest room and then hop back in to continue my journey. I have visited most states and into both Mexico and Canada so sleeping in the car was quite often. I actually made the trip from New York all the way to California in 3 days on such a trip, almost 3000 miles one way.

Now that I'm an old retired geezer, it is not unusual for me to get home after a day's work and fall asleep at the wheel in my own driveway right after getting back home. I usually wake up before it gets dark, but I can instantly drop off to sleep for a few hours right there before waking up and going in the house.

Yes I have, it was during my school days. I could not get to my destination that day, so I had to sleep in the car.

Yes. We had booked a hotel for a vacation. But due to bad weather we could arrive at the hotel day of, we where a town away. So we tried finding accomodation near by but every hotel and lodge where fully booked, we had no choice but to sleep in the car in the rain and it was really cold.

I did not sleep in a car but I still have time. Maybe better solution would be sleeping at main bus or train station in summer time. I see many people sleep over on bench or chair.

Yes, there was a strong typhoon, and we had to park at a shopping mall because the roads we had passed were flooded, and the roads we would take were also flooded. We ended up sleeping in the car. Good thing, the shopping mall allowed cars to park on their premises due to the severe weather, and there were three guards monitoring the area.
