North Dakota’s Quirky Shoe-Sleep Law

You are technically a criminal in North Dakota if you fall asleep with your shoes on.

That is a real law in a state that is way more interesting than people give it credit for.

While everyone assumes it is just flat farmland and freezing winters, the western side

is home to the rugged Badlands and massive bison herds. It is actually where Theodore Roosevelt

went to toughen up, and he claimed he never would have become president

without his time there. Whether you are visiting for the sunflower fields

or the history, just remember to take your boots off before napping.
