SPOILER ALERT: There is no magic solution for sleep. If you can’t sleep where you are, either A) Don’t sleep or B) Don’t be where you are.
In this live Q & A I also answer the question, “Do I have to join a Theme Camp?”

Good advice on sleeping, Just a couple caveats:
1) Many camps are okay with you crashing on the couches or hammocks of their *public* area, but not their camp-members-only areas, like their kitchen or tents or vehicle areas. Especially not *in* their tents or vehicles. In any case, ask first.
2) Never sleep anywhere on the open playa, because you WILL get run over by bikes and art cars, and/or the ground will suck the heat right out of your body. Either way, you’ll die.

It would be great if you could address the “light wad” issue, these are the brighter EL Wire or especially the LED covered costumes. They are great on the open Playa but are like staring into high beams if they happen to be between you and what you are trying to see burn…
