Is it legal to sleep in your car?
My friends and I are planning a road trip, and we were thinking of saving on hotels by sleeping in the car sometimes. But someone told me it might not be legal to just sleep anywhere in your car. Is this true?

Look, there is no law in India that says you can't sleep in your own car. Just make sure you park in a safe, well-lit area and keep the windows slightly cracked for ventilation. Don't worry, just keep your doors locked and stay safe.
While it isn't illegal, sleeping in a car with the AC running for long hours is extremely dangerous due to carbon monoxide risks. If you are doing this out of extreme fatigue or body ache, please consult a physician rather than pushing yourself. Your physical safety should be the priority.
Bro, I have crashed in my car so many times after late-night study sessions or trips with friends. Police might knock on your window to check your ID if you're parked in a weird spot, but you won't get arrested. Just carry your driving license and college ID.
I had to rest in my car once when I was traveling alone and felt incredibly dizzy. It is completely legal, but as a woman, I'd say safety comes first. Try parking near a 24/7 petrol pump or a hotel lobby where there are security cameras and guards around.
Don't just listen to random experiences online about sleeping setups. From a health perspective, sleeping in cramped car seats can severely strain your neck and spine. If you are having chronic sleep issues or back pain, go see a specialist rather than trying to make a car bed work.

Haha, if sleeping in the car was illegal, half of Indian husbands locked out of their homes would be in jail! It's totally fine, just don't park right outside a police station or on a busy highway. And please don't roll down the windows fully unless you want to donate blood to local mosquitoes.
