Sleeping in the RX

Hi. Me usually get VERY sleepy after eating, so I take a 30 - 45 min nap in the RX. Air con on, engine running, doors locked.

Is this safe? Does anyone know?

Thanks!

It's certainly safer than falling asleep while driving.

I think with the a/c on you should be fine, unless you have a gas leak. Just don't do it in a small garage with the doors and windows closed

Me sleep in fairly large underground car park.

Thanks for the advice!

doesn't hurt to pop open the rear windows to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning

Anyone concerned about a 45 minutes long idle?

Yes.

Look at all those taxi cabs for sale at auction in vegas. They are all smoking.

Don't do it too often, find a nearby mistress and take a nap a her place
