Can Living be a Crime?

How can you criminalize existing?
If one is going to live, one must get some sleep. The paradox is that when you are homeless, whenever you go to sleep you may be committing the crime of either illegally camping or trespassing. Because homeless people do not own property, everywhere they sleep they are either on public land or private land. If on public land, you are likely illegally camping; if on private land, you are likely trespassing.
Because one must sleep to live, and if by sleeping one breaks the law, such policies make it a crime to exist as a homeless individual.
