During World War One, soldiers slept on the rock hard floor with a coat covering them, when it rained they would have to make do sleeping in a big puddle and also they had to sleep within all sorts of creatures like rats, frogs and horned beetles. The living conditions were very poor. if they were lucky, whey could sleep on the firing step aswell In some cases soldiers would dig fox holes beside or near the trenches to avoid trench foot. Some would dig a small hole within the fox hole to light a fire and later put the fire out. This would then give them heat from the earth when they lay on it.

During a battle you wouldn't really sleep, the adrenaline would probably keep you up during the fight. However I'm assuming you mean in general, during simply artillery battles etc. Their were little dug outs in the side of trenches that one would sleep in. Their were similar dug outs for ammunition and other supplies.

roughly ten people were able to fit in some of them. I'd say probably five to ten.
