Things to keep in mind when sleeping in a car

Should you sleep in a car with the air conditioner on? - 1 — *Sleeping in a car is potentially dangerous*

According to Dan Tri Newspaper, sleeping in a car is not impossible, but it should be done properly to ensure safety.

Experts say that a car is a small space where you should only take a nap when you feel tired or sleepy on a long trip, and sleeping in a car with the air conditioner on for hours or all night is really dangerous.

If you want or are forced to do so, for objective reasons, first check carefully whether the car has enough gas or electricity for many hours. Next, you should set an alarm so that it is really just a short nap in the car, avoiding the situation of falling asleep too long in the car.

You need to choose a cool, shady place to park your car, to help the exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe dissipate quickly and not linger around the car.

Second, in the summer, it is difficult to sleep in a car without the air conditioner on, so the solution to get oxygen is to open the window about 1.5-2.5cm.

Third, text your location to someone you know and let them know that you fell asleep in the car. Set an alarm for 15-30-45-60 minutes in succession so you don't fall asleep in the car for too long.
