Where is the strangest place you have slept?'lardaholics anonymous' was bored and started a new question over in the old question, so the least we can do is make it official. What with New Year's celebrations coming up, asking for the strangest place you have slept is nicely appropriate too.
In case you are wondering, Portsmouth beach in the fog. Very strange waking up to that.

Sleep related strangenessHmm... This could run and run. One of b3ta's better QOTWs methinks.
1) Once spent the night on a beach at Walton on the Naze after a drunken beach party in summer 1995. We assumed the place was deserted but I was shocked to be rudely sniffed awake by the cold, wet nose of a passing labrador, no doubt looking for an object to mark his territory against.
2) The annual beer festival at Chapel in Essex has resulted in me drunkenly trying to put up a dome tent (akin to assembling a Saturn V rocket with a tube of superglue and a can of "no nails"), which ended up woefully on this piss - much like it's owner. Meanwhile I wake up the next morning in my car/comatose in a field/etc having slept where I eventually fell.
3) Cats. I like them, they like me. However, they take huge liberties with sleeping people, mistakenly believing that you'll willingly shift over and donate the whole bed for them to sleep on while you balance on the edge of the mattress. I had woken to find my cat alternating between pawing and drooling on my face (he was hungry), under the duvet and lying sprawled out with his back to me (he was cold) or most irritatingly, sat on my chest and purring far too loudly for my hangover to bear (he was bored and wanted company).
I have also woken up at parties to find random cats sat on me.
