sleeping porch
Screened napping veranda
A sleeping porch is a screened or enclosed porch designed for sleeping, especially during warm weather.
Popular in American homes from the late 1800s through the mid-twentieth century, sleeping porches allowed fresh air circulation before air conditioning became widespread.
The practice reflected beliefs that outdoor sleeping promoted health: The children spent summer nights on the sleeping porch.
