If there is one thing I love more than sleeping in my car, it’s seeing other people sleeping in their cars.
In my opinion, there are two good reasons why one would sleep in their car.
The first, and the one that I personally find myself in on an almost daily basis, is that you are just tired of working. You need a break from the normal rushing around working rubbish. You just need a quick nap. Some time to relax. Time to think about your job and how much you hate it. I constantly see buisnessmen, suits and all, in their car with the seat laid back, just sleeping in the shaded area of parking lots. It’s glorious. By the way, if you ever find yourself looking for a catnap on Route 83 in Farmingville, Long Island, I suggest the Vietnam Vets Memorial. Not only is their optimal shade for those hot summer days, but it is extremely quiet. I may be screwing myself by letting the entire internet know about my underground nap spot, but I don’t care. If you hate your job as much as I do, you deserve a nice nap in a good spot like that.
The other reason for sleeping in your car, and the one that I’ve taken part of quite a few times as well, is that you had an amazing night and are too looped to drive. Nothing beats waking up in a parking lot of some bar, in your own vehicle, knowing that not only did you have a really fun time, but you also knew you shouldn’t be driving. A few months ago, I woke up in my car in the parking lot of some bar in Levittown, with a completely strange chick in my passenger seat. I was confused as hell. I nudged the girl, she woke up, looked at me like I had 4 heads, didn’t say a word,opened the door, and got into her car that was parked next to mine. It was bizzare.
Either way, if there is one thing that I’ve learned from working on the roads during the day and drinking heavily during the nights, it’s always keep a light blanket and small pillow in your car.
