Sleeping in Airports

I've spent the night in a number of airports over the years — most notably in New Delhi in 1984 when the city was under martial law and there were tanks next to the runways — but I've never ever been able to sleep while overnighting.

Now comes Sofia Andrade of the Washington Post with "Your Guide to Sleeping in an Airport."

It's an excellent, detailed breakdown of all aspects of the experience.

More?

Turns out there's a website called "The Guide to Sleeping in Airports."

Have at it.
