Moonshine.

You know, I once slept under the night sky. No roof over my head and a simple sleeping bag covering my body. They always glamourise it in movies and make it into this amazing experience. It's really not all it's cracked up to be. Sure, on the evening before you go to sleep it's pretty fantastic to actually be out under the stars and have the moon be the last thing you see before you go to sleep, but in the morning... Oh, in the morning it is not good. In the morning it is cold and it wet. Oh, it is so wet. Even if it hasn't been raining you're basically soaked through with dew. Your face, your sleeping bag, the ground around you. In my case I was sleeping sitting up in one of my parents' garden chairs together with a friend and of course a sitting position is never fabulous to wake up from. So if you ever plan to try it - don't. Sleep in a nice, warm, comfy bed instead. And if you really have to try it - make sure you sleep lying down.
