1. Hey now
We do that at the restaurant in the summer -- not the sleeping part, but going into the walk-in fridge and sort of pretending to look around for something for a few minutes. Just, ya know, long enough to cool down a bit.

...Although lord knows I've offered to hang a hammock up in there more times than I can remember.

3. !
I can relate to that.

The walk in freezer always works a treat also.

-30oC :)

2. Heck.
I live in Florida and occasionally get the urge to do something like that. Poor guy.
