I've fallen asleep many times during extended lunch 'hours' with the front seat reclined 45 degrees or so. I use a neck pillow to help prevent a sore neck and when I wake up, I'm nice and refreshed and ready to motor on. For overnight sleeping, I take my Scion xB. Plenty of room in that toaster.
On my last road trip (two weeks ago, NJ->WI) I stopped twice for naps. It's doable (I just reclined about as far as it would go, probably 45 degrees from vertical) but my neck would have been much happier with a neck pillow. Oh, and I was really cold. I'm getting chills just thinking about it. No, wait, that's the draft from my window.

Yup. Went over my head, too. Sounded like the last guy said "Banhof", but that didn't look like a train station to me.
Depends on where the word is used. Hauptbahnhof means train station. Any other use has a different meaning depending on how it is said and where it's placed in the word.
back in '68. We were tech inspectors at Mid-Ohio racetrack back then. So 4 of us fellas, all at 6' or a bit more, headed down Friday evening in a '63 850cc Mini with our sleeping bags intending to sleep out under the stars.
Those of you familiar with the Mid-Ohio area know that it rains there. A lot. Especially on weekends.
Yep, it rained that night and we 4 had to sleep in the Mini.
My girlfriend slept on our last road trip, going from Buffalo to Massachusetts.
I've had the driver's seat back while parked and could probably sleep, I'm a husky 5'9". The seat goes back a lot farther than in a Mustang convertible.
I've napped in the passenger seat before on a long road trip. It reclines enough. I didn't want to mess up my perfect driving position or deal with unhooking my Schroth. It was perfectly comfortable, but I sometimes nap in my desk chair; feet on the seat, thighs in my chest, arms around my legs, chin on my knees.
