Sleeping in the cockpit

Has anyone tried sleeping in the cockpit of their Cape Cutter?
My brother and I want to take 4 small boys for an overnight trip and are wondering if we can get away with sleeping in the cockpit under a boom tent.
All ideas welcome!

Cockpit camping Skopelos 2021. I know others successfully camp with a tent in Greek midsummer we just use the cockpit. The saloon cushions fit the cockpit and so sleeping is comfortable.

I had a boom tent but found that a) it was too low and b) it sloped in making sitting difficult, so I bought a Vango three person tent and with the boom raised high and pulled to the side there is now plenty of room inside. I hope the photo is clear enough.
