I don't think the Constitution permits sleeping in any public space, but the ACLU is challenging on Eighth Amendment grounds in Grants Pass v. Johnson. So we'll know soon enough if it's Constitutional.

It doesn't specifically ensure a right to sleep no but to enjoy public places is legal, I can camp on public grounds so long as it's not gated or otherwise excluded or currently utilized. They can say don't sleep on public benches because it prevents enjoyment from others and isn't what they're there for but if you pitch a tent in the woods that's legal no matter what local governments say.

I don't think there's anything in the Constitution about enjoying public spaces either. If you're allowed to camp on state land in your state it's because your state law permits it.

If I have the right to protest on public spaces because I have a measurable property right to it then I have the same right of enjoyment for any other protected right included simply existing and the necessities thereof.
