If you are in a house with many guests, or sleeping in a hotel room where there is not enough bed for everyone, then you can sleep in the bathtub. With a little proper preparation, a sleepover in the tub can be quite comfortable.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Preparing the Bath

1. 1 Measure your bath. It is unlikely that you will be comfortable sleeping in a bathtub where you have to curl up, so go to bed only in a bathtub large enough for you to comfortably fit in it.
   • For you to sleep comfortably all night, the bathtub should be long enough to stretch your legs, and wide enough so that it is comfortable to lie on your back, without resting on its walls or squeezing your shoulders (otherwise, by the morning you may back pain).
   • If the tub isn't big enough, it will probably be better to sleep on the floor. By the way, sleeping on the floor is good for your health, especially if your back hurts!
   • Make sure that you can sleep in the tub not only on your back, but also to turn, because sleeping in one position all night long is uncomfortable.
2. 2 Make sure the bathtub is clean and dry. Since the bath is used for its intended purpose during the day, be sure to make sure it is clean and dry, and only then prepare a sleeping place for yourself.
   • If possible, do not use the bathroom (and ask others to do so) for several hours before going to bed.
   • If the tub isn't dry, or if someone has taken a shower recently, dry it off with a towel. You can also blow dry it.
   • Make sure the tub is clean and free of soapy streaks or hair.
3. 3 Remove all unnecessary things. You will hardly be pleased if a bottle of shampoo or soap falls on the floor or on your head in the middle of the night.
   • Remove toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, shower gel, lotion, etc.) that get in your way or that you might accidentally brush away in your sleep.
   • Treat other people's things with care and be sure to put everything in place in the morning.

Part 2 of 3: Preparing a Sleeping Place in the Bath

1. 1 Get everything you need to sleep. To make it comfortable for you to sleep in a hard bathtub, you should use more blankets and blankets.
   • Try to include as many blankets, rugs, and pillows as possible.
   • You can use a sleeping bag as a top layer.
2. 2 Make a nesting bed inside the tub. With a little patience and diligence, you can make yourself a comfortable bed.
   • Roll up some blankets or blankets and lay them out in the tub. This will create a mattress to sleep on.
   • Try to make the blankets or rugs go over the sides of the bathtub so that you will be more comfortable.
   • Place the pillow on the opposite side of the tap. A pillow is essential to support the head and the correct position of the spine during sleep, and so that you do not bump your head against the hard walls of the bath during sleep.
3. 3 Prepare blankets for cover. Set aside one or two blankets for cover.
   • Since you don't know if the bathroom will be warm or cool at night, it's best to put aside a few blankets just in case.
   • The sleeping bag can serve as both a blanket and a mattress.

Part 3 of 3: Going to bed

1. 1 Take your personal items with you to the bathroom. Take with you things you may need at night or in the morning when you wake up.
   • Take the essential clothing and toiletries you need in the morning and place them next to your closet or dry place where they are safe.
   • Place your phone next to you and find the nearest power outlet, if necessary. Make sure you have your phone close at hand when you lie in the bath, so that, for example, you can pick it up and check the time or turn off the alarm.
   • Bring something to entertain yourself (like a tablet, laptop, or book) if needed.
2. 2 Make sure no one else needs to use the bathroom. If your apartment or room no longer has bathrooms, then it's best to check if someone else needs a bathroom. Be sure to warn everyone that you are going to sleep in the bathtub, because it will hardly be pleasant to wake up because someone turned on the shower in the morning!
   • Decide what to do if someone needs to visit the bathroom at night.
   • Make an appointment with the others when you wake up and free the bath in case someone wants to shower in the morning.
3. 3 Go to sleep! It's time to get in the tub and fall asleep, so try to make yourself as comfortable as possible.
   • Lie in the bathtub with your head on the opposite side of the tap - this is necessary in case you don't hit your head if you stand up suddenly, forgetting about where you are.
   • You can turn on the fan, creating a white noise to block out all other sounds, making it easier for you to fall asleep.
   • Turn off the light.If you are afraid that you may wake up at night and do not understand where you are, then turn on the night light. It will also help other people if they forget that you are sleeping in the bathtub.

Tips

• If possible, turn off the water overnight, but remember to turn the water back on early in the morning.
• If the bathtub is dirty and you don’t want to clean it or you don’t have time to clean it, just put a blanket or sheet under the bottom, which you can wash later.

Warnings

• Sleeping in a bathtub filled with water is unsafe.
