[Paddlewise] Sleeping in your sea kayak...

Not relevant for all paddlers but I would be interested in comments from
"been there, done that" paddlers.  I have asked Arthur Herbert separately
for his comments, as I know he has dealt with this problem.

I am considering an extended solo open water crossing that would probably
take about 35 days.  This goal is to be achieved in the next five years.  

I've noted previous paddler's have ensured they travelled in a stable kayak
(Ed Gillet using a modified double, Dr Lindemann's in a single inflatable
with an outrigger, etc.) and used methods such as sleeping in a sitting
position.  Also know of Peter Treseder who kayaked across the Timor Sea
(between Australia and PNG) who had an inflatable raft (he is a tall guy!)
which he jumped into when needing rest and presumably inflated/deflated as
required.

Interested in other paddler's experiences and/or suggestions. 

Thanks in advance.

Damon
