“Overnight sleeping facilities, there is silence, and also guarded accommodation period. Mukaan kannattaa ottaa makuupussi ja makuualusta, sillä patjoja ei ole ja kivilattiat saattavat olla melko kylmät. It is advisable to take a sleeping bag and sleeping pad, because there is no mattresses and stone floors can be quite cold.

Tilat täytetään järjestyksessä, joten majoituspaikkaa kannattaa tiedustella Infotiskiltä. Spaces make up the order, so beds can be inquired Info desk. Kaikille tarvitseville pyritään osoittamaan jokin nukkumispaikka, mutta varhain yöpuulle menevät varmistavat itselleen mukavamman ja rauhallisemman majoituksen sekä pidemmät yöunet. All people who need to demonstrate a nukkumispaikka, but go to sleep early to ensure for themselves more comfortable and peaceful accommodation and a longer night’s sleep. Herätys on Dipolissa kahdeksan ja yhdeksän välillä, erillisissä nukkumatiloissa hieman ennen kymmentä tai kahtatoista, riippuen siitä milloin ohjelma alkaa. Wake Dipoli is between eight and nine, separate sleeping a little before ten or twelve, depending on when the program starts ”
