How did people sleep during the dust bowl?

The dust bowl essentially made lives miserable. There was sand anywhere that it could get into. It was a normal thing to have to sleep uncomfortably in a bed full of sand. Often, people had to eat the sand in whatever they ate because there was to way to get it clean. School children were frequently sent home due to weather conditions. And when they did, they had to walk home backwards to avoid sand in their eyes. When one man wanted to buy a tractor, he had to dig it out of a huge sand dune to take it home.
