Sleeping in your Prius...

Does nodding off at a long red light red count?

 

Is anyone living out of the prius? i am having problems at home and thinking of trying this

 

Sleeping in your Prius while driving can be hazardous to your health (also applies to any other vehicles which you operate while sleep).

When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep as my grandfather did, and not like the screaming passengers in his car....

The only way you will work out your problem is to sit there and be miserable for a while. You won't be miserable for ever; things will get better if you stick with it. Moving out only gets you use to not dealing with your problems.

:lol: OMG, that's what I thought it said when I read the choices. Haha, I thought to myself. Better get some more coffee in my poor little brain or something.

Well its my parents, not my wife or girlfriend. I'm not running out on anyone here.

 

spin, how old are you? if you're old enough, move out. but make sure you're prepared to deal with living on your own. it's not easy and it's not cheap. the world is a harsh place, especially when you're first figuring it out.

i essentially left home at 17, but that was an extreme situation beyond just not getting along with the people i had to live with.

 

I've spent the night in the back of the Prius at the beach twice. I fold the back seats down and sleep with my feet just off the edge of the rear platform (I'm 6'3" and 160#). I use a $15 eggshell-style mattress pad, and a comforter over that. It's amazing how much stuff can be packed away into the various cubby-holes in the prius. At some point I want to try sleeping with the front seats folded back (they fold almost perfectly flat with the headrests removed). The skylight is great, especially in the rain!

I think you could live out of the Prius for about 3 weeks at a time if you can find somewhere to take showers like every day or two or three. If your work or school doesn't have a shower, try spending every third night in a campground, or at a friend's place.

Once you get the routine down, it doesn't take more time than you can allocate, to take care of all the stuff we usually do at home. Once there's no tv and less pc, there's plenty of time for the rest of life.

And taking 3 weeks away every month or so can do wonders for providing everyone the space they need to re-orient.
