What did dugouts do World War 1 in trenches?
A Dugout is an underground shelter to protect soldiers from enemy fire. They ranged from small open scoops out of the walls of a trench to large wood and concrete protected multi-layered underground constructions. They tended to permit soldiers to sleep/eat and rest more safely. They could also be offices for officers, dressing stations for the wounded, supplies and stores.

Trench warfare was Intorduced in world war 1. By world war 2, really the end of ww1 on. they were outdated due to the use of tanks and their ability to roll over the barbed wire and trenches.
How did world war 1 and 2 soldiers sleep?
Depends on where they were. In garrison, usually in a bunk. In the field, wherever you could find a dry spot. In WW I, soldiers in the trenches might have a "dugout" where they could wrap in a blanket, or just a hole dug in the ground. When not under fire, soldiers carried a "shelter half" This was a small sheet of canvas that could be joined to another, and would make a 2 man tent. My personal favorite for warm climates is the "jungle hammock" This is a hammock with a rain fly above it, and mosquito netting on the sides.
