How many people sleep better in their van/motorhome than at home?

Yes, sleep better in the van. That's cos I like being alone and in the midst of nature. It beats a housing estate, even though it is a very nice housing estate.

I sleep the same home or away. The downfalls of insomnia.

As said in a previous post if having trouble sleeping I would go into the van in the garden and definitely sleep better. We have a caravan in the garden for visitors to use and I often have a Kip in it as it feels like being on holiday in your own garden.

I am lucky, I can sleep on a bed of nails.
But yes I do sleep well in the van, but I tend to feel blocked up in the morning.
When doing my basic training we had to sleep outdoors in the rain, I even managed it once in snow in Norway during an exercise.
But on the rare occasion that I have bother I get up for around 20 minutes then go back to bed and it’s

But I don’t sleep any better in the van, than I do at home, about the same.

Absolutely. But then again, I slept so well in the van, it’s difficult to tell.

We got our caravan for our sons to stay in when they visited but it’s been well used with friends and family and even our neighbours use it. Cheap way of creating extra accommodation if you have the space. Ours will never be towed again and is looking nice just now as the Clematis is growing over it.

I do that if I need to catch up on my sleep.

Unfortunately my caravan is inside my garage and is used for dry storage of things we don’t want to get damp in the winter the hazards if a concrete sectional garage.

I have one caravan full of boat jumble stuff, now to be cleared this year time permitting.

 

[Debroos]

Would you credit it. First night of trip and we both slept really badly!
Should have kept my mouth shut!

 

[jann]

We both sleep better in the van

 

[TJBi]

My van is way to hot tonight at 28.5c, above 22c i almost die and be restless all night.

Try opening the Linux. If that fails, try a different operating system.

 

[RoaminRog]

Definitely sleep better in the van!
The fresh air knocks us both out and we can wake up slowly without opening the curtains

 

[number14]

Slightly off topic but one corollary to sleeping well in the van is having to wake up early(ish), whatever the weather, to take the dog out for her morning comfort break. Don't misunderstand, I love my dog to bits and wouldn't be without her but, sometimes, a lie-in would be welcome - especially in winter!

 

[Debroos]

Another corollary is that my oh only sleeps well if the bed is oriented either directly east/west or north/south, not at points in between...
Any other bad sleepers tried this?

I tried opening the windows but got to many bugs.

Do you pray to a god in the east by any chance.

Ours was christened The Coronavan as we got it at the start of the lockdown. Cost under 2k which is cheap compared to building something that sleeps 4 with power and a lavvy.
It’s well loved by family and friends.
