You had to sleep in the car to figure out that no 2-seaters are meant to be nap-friendly?

I took a micro-bead pillow and curled into the fetal position in the driver's seat on the side of the highway. Slept for a good hour before I was woken up by a cop telling me to move.

Good thing I didn't do what I normally do in my cars and sleep in the trunk.

I have a hard enough time sleeping in my bed, much less in a 350z.

done this probably about 3 times, for several hours each time. i like sleeping on the passenger side, i put the seat up JUST enough to recline it back at a decent position and still have plenty of leg room. i can pretty much do the same on the drivers side because i fit under the steering wheel, just as long as i find a decent place to rest my head. then im gooood to go!

Owning an SUV FTW

I find it hard in my SUV to get a good nap (although with blankets and pillows with the back seat down) it can be done. So I feel for you in a 2 seater with no way to fully recline.

I've taken a power nap on my lunchbreak in the Z after a long night of hard drinking. Wasn't that bad in the pass seat. I have a parking deck so just cracked the window put the music on real low and dosed off. Felt so much better afterwards.
