Question
No, against site rules.
You cannot sleep in a self storage unit. Site rules and most local building codes ban living in a storage unit. Storage units lack ventilation, heating, and emergency exit routes needed for safe sleeping. Hotels and short-stay options are the right choice. Some sites use CCTV to spot rule breaches and may end the contract.
Did you know?
Most self-storage facilities prohibit sleeping not only for safety reasons but also because the buildings are not designed for residential use. Ventilation, fire protection and emergency access requirements are very different for people than for stored goods. Related questions
