Many people in India in the rural side sleep on the terraces. It becomes too hot and stuffy to sleep indoors and also if there are power cuts. Generally they sleep on a "Charpai".
When I was young we had a lot of power cuts in India and we used to head over to the terrace to sleep in the summers. For mosquitoes we used to coat our skin with an insect repellent cream called "Odomos".
