It is perfectly comfortable for me, but I can sleep on anything.

When you are tired enough you can sleep through anything...Have you fallen asleep in class.

The passenger side is a little more roomy, but you are probably still going to wake up with a bad back.

A few times - once on a 24 hour drive from the coast that was only supposed to take 16/17 hours... Once with the engine running and the door open until security woke me up asking if "I meant to do that" (no I wasn't inebriated)... Once when I was so sick that I had to think about every action before doing it, just to determine if I actually had enough energy to complete it... Once for the hell of it because it was early, cold, and pouring rain, and the S was so warm an comfortable... Plus a couple times at work when my shift ended and I knew I would be back on in a couplafew hours and sleeping in the S actually afforded more down down than driving home and back...

Each time it was worth it. All I can say is, throw you shoes on the passenger side, put your feet under the pedals for maximum leg room, and crack the windows if it's humit to avoid waking up in a sauna... oh, and passing out with the engine running will burn about 1/2 a tank over the course of 5 hours

I'm good at taking naps in a car, even my S2000. I just used a jacket as a pillow.

I don't believe I could do 7 hours of unbroken sleep though in any vehicle.

I'd rather find a place to park and sleep on a bench.

I used to do it almost daily at work for 25 minutes at a time (i'd set my alarm) in the middle of the day. I also have a Recaro SPG fixed bucket seat in the driver's seat, which I find more comfortable than the passenger seat both for normally sitting in and sleeping in.

But, like the other guy said, I don't think I could sleep in the car for longer than 40 minutes or so. This was mainly for power naps.
