So, because it's been like a sweltering jungle in the upstairs of our house, I've been sleeping on a downstairs couch. This is good practice for sleeping in hostels in foreign countries! Reasons why: It's noisy. It's sometimes cooler towards morning. Cats jump on you and try to sleep on your pillows (in other countries this wold maybe be replaced by geckos or something :) The couch is not the most comfortable thing in the world. There are misquitos (tip: lie VERY still, try not to exhale in big whooshes and they might not bother you. This really works. plus, just have your nose sticking out of the sheet, not your entire head XD)
I think it's good to get used to unusual sleeping places and positions, because when you've been hiking all day and scarf down a dinner and just want to collapse, you want to be able to sleep through strange noises and people getting up and flashlights turning on and off.
My next place is going to be a hammock! More later.

It's kind of like "lather yourself in chemicals!" but theres also some good stuff. Maybe natural bug sprays just mask the scent of your body and the carbon dioxide that you exhale! I never thought about that. So folks-lie still, don't breathe, and you should be fine.
