Here is an exerpt from sleeping in Basra, July 2004:

If you want to sleep you will be left alone, but bear in mind that military personnel will not make the effort to be quiet around you – and will carry on telling smutty jokes at full volume – as they are all able to sleep through it. Although the terminal is air conditioned it’s still quite hot, so a towel or sheet will suffice instead of a sleeping bag. … Sleeping is possible, but earplugs and an eye mask would be a good idea, and expect to be woken frequently to be informed about delays and to be moved on to the ‘next’ departure lounge. Pack plenty of provisions and your sense of humour!
