Can people who sleep rough one night really get a feel for what it's like to be homeless? Well, it's a start. See if you're a person who likes to go camping in an RV or in a tent or out under the stars YOU HAVE A VACATION MENTALITY. You probably aren't trying it out as an ongoing lifestyle.
Anyway, if you use the Internet to word search "SLEEP OUT" + "Homeless" you'll bring up a lot of opportunities to try it out.
(If you're homeless and reading this you're probably laughing. OK, so how many actual homeless do these sleepers get to sleep NEXT TO?)
