Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Valerie Mills Daly [valdaly] Thursday, April 21, 2005 4:06 PM [Raw Food] Sleeping in the open air Hi, folks, just thought I would bounce a question off this group: Do any of you sleep outside on a regular basis? I remember both reading a book and listening to a presentation by Victoria Boutenko in which she talked about the family arranging things with their home in such a way that they were able to sleep outside most of the year. This has intrigued me; my husband and I camp several times a year, including our two week vacation in the fall, when we go to the upper peninsula of Michigan (absolutely Paradise that time of year), and I never sleep better than when we are in the camper (it's a pop-up, basically a tent on wheels ). We live in a fairly quiet suburban area, and I've been toying with the idea of setting up a screen tent in the back yard for sleeping during the spring through fall seasons. I'm not sure how we would go about it, using cots, or setting up some kind of platform, but screening in the patio area appears to be prohibitive (ranging from 8 to 10 thousand dollars); and a $100 dollar screen tent is much more doable. My husband is not even close to being convinced that this would be a good thing, but I'm working on it. Anyone here doing anything like this? I should mention that we live in south central PA, and the weather would allow for this from April through November (excepting major rain days). Thanks for any input...Valerie _____ Hi Valerie, If you have the land and the zest for outdoor living, go for it. Outdoor air, when not terribly polluted, is MUCH healthier than indoor air, particularly in most homes these days. And you'll increase your body oxygenation noticeably, that's why you sleep so well. It's a wonderful idea!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 suggestion... when not able to sleep outside... set a fan with back to open window... and let blow on you or near your direction at night.. this is what I do... the fresh air is wonderful... and the fan acts like the breeze... very nice... i sleep next to the window since I am so hot natured.. hubby sleeps on other side of bed... the circulation of the air in the room makes both of us sleep much better... not sleeping outside but is the next best thing...
