I sneak off to the parking garage at lunch time to have a Power Nap in the back of my car. Tinted windows mean I'm totally invisible, and I can get 25 min of good rest. It is a highlight of my day

Do you drive a Rolls Royce Phantom?

Haha nope, Tesla Model 3. The back seat is juuust wide enough to lie down in the back for a nap. I’m 6’2” so it wouldn’t be comfortable overnight but for half an hour it is enough.

A woman at work recently told me she naps in her car after her daily walk. It made me think that I could probably put the back seat down in my car and put an inflatable mattress on it and nap anywhere.

If I made a habit of sleeping in my car, I would consider one of these:

In fact, I have considered one in case I just want to (for example) drive to a trailhead the night before for an early morning start, and catch some sleep in the car without setting up a tent and all.
