Here's a question for you folks....which way do you sleep with your head in a
shelter and why? With your head towards the open part or towards the back
wall?

Me....with my head towards the outside. I'd heard that the mice prefer to run
along the walls. In 10-1/2 weeks and mostly shelter sleeping, i only saw one
mouse and that's 'cause someone insisted on shining their flashlight on it to
show me there really are mice. Never heard one otherwise either....but did
frequently see chewed up evidence of mouse presence.
