I think they work if they are constructed and set up properly 6 degrees off of dead north. I built one out of plywood one time, 8 foot by 8 foot, I used to sleep in it, like a tent. I only needed 5 hours of sleep and I was completely energized. Blueberries stayed fresh in it for a long time. A mouse got in there and died, I went to remove his body 6 months later and it had not decomposed one bit.
As I was going through the threads this morning I saw you replied to this one in particular, and I said to myself before I even clicked on it, "I bet he's gonna say he built one and slept in it."
LMFAO!
As for mice decomposing, I don't think they do ... IIRC, they are like 98% water and don't decay, they dehydrate and turn to dust.
