    I know “sleeping rough” is the UK phrase for being homeless or living on the street but “rough sleeping” just sounds too close to “rough sex” for me

      I figured out what it meant from context but when I first read the headline my immediate thought was something along the lines of “what the hell does that mean? Sleeping on a bed without sheets? lumpy pillows? The fuck?” lol

        I was picturing restless sleep after a night shift when you have an opening shift just after sunrise.
