<p>Thanks to my <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a> columns, I&#8217;ve developed a reputation for reviewing bizarre gear. As such, I tend to accumulate more odd paraphernalia than any one person (in a New York City apartment) truly needs. I was sorting through that collection this past weekend and came across the <a href="http://www.snazzynapper.com/" target="_blank">Snazzy Napper</a>. You remember the Snazzy Napper, right? It&#8217;s the blanket/eye mask/burka combo that allows you to sleep just about anywhere. <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2010/08/30/snazzy-napper-review/" target="_blank">I reviewed it for Gadling</a>. In fact, I actually gave it a positive review. The thing is, I just don&#8217;t need it. I already <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2010/01/22/11-tips-for-sleeping-on-planes/" target="_blank">sleep really well just about anywhere</a>. So, I&#8217;ve decided to give Snazzy Nappers to TWO lucky readers in my first ever giveaway.<span id="more-2237"></span></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2239 alignright" title="SnazzyNapperMets" src="http://mikebarish.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/SnazzyNapperMets.jpg" alt="mike barish snazzy napper" width="250" height="188" />To enter, <strong>simply leave a comment below with your best travel sleeping story</strong>. It can be a rousing success story about how you managed to fall asleep in the engine room of a tugboat or a horror story about how an aggressive goat kept you awake with its advances on an overnight bus to Chihuahua. Two comments will be randomly selected. One winner will receive the Extra Large Snazzy Napper and the other will receive the Original Snazzy Napper!</p>
<p>The Snazzy Napper giveaway nitty gritty:</p>
<ul>
<li>Simply leave a comment below sharing your best travel sleeping story.</li>
<li>The comment must be left before 11:59PM EDT, Friday, May 13, 2011.</li>
<li>You may enter only once.</li>
<li>Two winners will be selected in a random drawing.</li>
<li>The first random winner will receive an Extra Large Snazzy Napper worth $25.</li>
<li>The second random winner will receive an Original Snazzy Napper worth $15.</li>
<li>Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, including the District of Columbia who are 18 and older. Prizes can and will only be shipped to the 50 United States, including the District of Columbia.</li>
</ul>

<p>Whether you&#8217;re in a hostel, hotel, apartment or friend&#8217;s house, being on the road requires you to be comfortable sharing beds (or couches, air mattresses, cots, etc). This isn&#8217;t sexual. This isn&#8217;t creepy. It&#8217;s just about saving money and maximizing space.</p>
<p>Get comfortable snuggling up next to a friend. Just remember: If you snore, you buy breakfast.</p>

<p>Most cities, no matter how large, cosmopolitan and boisterous they are, eventually call it a day. And that means that public transportation ceases to operate. Before heading out for the night, be sure to know when the last train runs or what time the last bus departs back to your accommodations.</p>
<p>Sure, you can catch a cab (maybe) or walk (hopefully), but once public transportation shuts down, you run the risk of having to sleep wherever you are. Even in a <a href="http://mikebarish.com/2010/04/08/travel-tip-52-fast-food-is-better-overseas/" target="_blank">MOS Burger</a>.</p>

		<title>Travel Tip #34: Learn to Sleep Anywhere</title>

<p>Sure, it would be great if you could always have a pillow top bed with 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets on which to sleep after a long day of traveling. But, all too often, we find ourselves in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebarish/4386745001/" target="_blank">airports</a>, buses, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kressie/2502396501/in/set-72157605129925398/" target="_blank">train cars</a> and other sundry places when the sun sets and bedtime comes. Other times, we have to steal naps whenever and wherever we can.</p>
<p>If you want to be well-rested on a trip, you need to learn very quickly to sleep in uncomfortable places. Bring a travel pillow, pack a sleep mask or self-medicate. Because no one is following you around with a California king and pre-fluffed pillows.</p>
<p>Share your oddest sleeping position in the comments.</p>
