What is the sleeping environment like?

In bootcamp at any time after taps there will be noise from: the watch (walking around, waking up their relief, relief getting dressed, turning over the pistol, getting instructions on the deck log from starboard watch etc), people snoring, people waking up to use the head, the ventilation etc.

Around the time people fall asleep there will also be noise from people braiding hair/chatting, doing their ironing/chatting, complaining, gossiping etc.

But yeah, bootcamp is mostly an exercise in sleep deprivation. I've never heard of anyone having issues falling asleep unless their neighbor was a really heavy snorer.
