What does it mean when a wild squirrel is friendly and wants to sleep on you?

Wild squirrels typically do not approach humans, let alone exhibit friendly behavior like wanting to sleep on a person. In the rare case that a wild squirrel seems unusually approachable, it's important to exercise extreme caution and avoid touching or interacting with it.

Squirrels can carry diseases transmittable to humans, and any attempt to handle them could lead to bites or scratches, potentially resulting in infections or the transmission of diseases. Wildlife experts advise against engaging with or attempting to domesticate wild squirrels, emphasizing that they are wild animals best observed from a safe distance.
