Alternative to ladder for overhead comparment

Hi,

just the other day, my wife was complaining about my snoring. Yeah, big surprise..

so, I went to the overhead area above the driver, wow, so much room, and so comfortable.

The tough part was waking up to pee, had to climb down the ladder half asleep.

Does anyone know of an alternative to the ladder? some type of steps? Anything?

TIA,

Glenn

My first thought would a large mouth bottle like used in hospitals regardless of the type of stairs/steps/ladder you still have to climb down.

I did a DIY mod to a stepladder to replace the original ladder. My version 1 was okay but I plan to remod it to have better angle for the steps. I will post more info in next day or so.
