Daytime Snooze-spots

[actionstations]

Hi all

I absolutely smashed it DJing a wedding and downing loads of cider on saturday, to the point where the sight of booze still does not appeal to me.

At the same time my other half danced and drank til 3 in t' morning and caught some kind of cold from someone at a different party.

My question is, if we're still as achey and shattered as we are today, where's the best place at the fest for a snooze. preferably out of the sun, ideally out of the rain too (not that it'll rain at all)...

in the past I've ended up getting a few hours in the cabaret tent which is nice and dark, but can also get a bit busy and potentially embarrassing if any comedians notice any snoring I'm doing.

Any other suggestions of snooze-spots?

cheers!

Since it looks like it's going to be cloudy and not rain (much), I'd suggest heading up to the hill above The Park and lying on the ground.  I think there are also some hammocks round there, but can't remember if they're covered.  They'll probably be in use though.

If I'm tired I fall asleep, fell asleep one year through the Manics at the pyramid, also favour grass outside west holts bar, a particular favourite snoozing spot - usually too many brothers....

Cabaret or big top tent is a fave snooze point for me

cinema tent?  Fairly static audience for a couple of hours and nobody should kick you out...

I had a lovely sleep in the sacred space in 2013.  Fell asleep in the sun, managed about 1 hour then was woken by spits of rain (might have been around 3 or 4ish).  We managed to find cover on the fringe of the Avalon Cafe as the rain became heavier and discovered Mik Artistik.  What an afternoon!

Up around the right hand side of the Acoustic tent is a good quiet spot for an afternoon map. Watch out for the bunnies jumping all over you during Artie though

Cinema tent

The tent in the green fields that is powered by cycling. I have had a good kip in there in the past.

Yeah, I don't get why you bother with anywhere else if your tent is an option!

Small World Stage has become a bit of a tradition for us to go and have a nice cup of tea and a snooze on their rugs whilst listening to some lovely folk music. Also a great spot just to chill and watch the world go by. A really nice contrast to the late night madness.

Had a great little lie down/mini snooze on Sunday afternoon last year when Ron Sexsmith and Gretchen P,eters were on and am expecting to do the same this year when Patty Griffin is on

Because you get to drift off to something enjoyable and then wake up and there is something else to engage your eyes.

Being in your own tent is extremely boring!

Where depends on how much you trust your mates not to draw a phallus on your forehead.

I wouldn't trust me not to.

Passed out on the path in front of the other stage a few years back one sunday, needless to say i'd over done saturday and passers by were asking my friends if i was even alive haha!

[actionstations]

some great ideas here, cheers guys!

this thread's distracting me from packing... must get on the road soon, hah.

I once dropped off in the permaculture garden on the sunday of 2010, such a relief to be in shade and asleep that year, god it was hot.

I love this 'nap thread'. Toad Hall is good for a nap....got rugs! Acoustic is another nice spot or the hammocks above park or opposite sensation seekers stage.

A few years back there was actual cushion mattress beds in Heaven you could sleep in! People dressed as Angels were around and there was a nice bar inside too. Did it on Sunday afternoon when I was at a low and it gave me a new lease of life!

The teepee(sp) at the back of the Big Ground is also great for a snooze!
