I know a lot of fromer Navy people that will tell you, the Navy will teach you to sleep anywhere, anytime, for any amount of time (10 minutes to 10 hours).

I know it did for me.

I guess it is possible that Daddy picked it up in the Army in WWII. He was a combat veteran. I know they often had to work in the dead of the night because they were losing too many men and machines during the day.

Oh, forgot to mention he was in the Combat Engineers.

Residency will do that as well. I once remember falling asleep standing in the back of an elevator. But then working 12-12-36 with no days off in-between will do that for you!

Hahaha...my first rack on the JFK was the top rack on a main passageway, directly under the arresting gear with a 1MC three feet above my head.

Can people sleep anywhere? I think I am living proof!
