Ruth 3:7

Boaz finished his supper and after he had something to drink, he was happy and tired. He lay down next to a heap of seeds and went to sleep. Ruth waited until Boaz was really asleep, then she walked quietly over to where he was lying down. She moved the blanket off his feet and lay down.

8In the middle of the night, something made Boaz wake up and he got a big shock when he found a woman lying next to his feet.
