I've done that lots of times when I used a tent.
These days I usually don't use the tent and rely on a small tarp and hoopless bivy or bug bivy. Often I sleep on top of them and don't pitch the tarp if I don't need rain or bug protection. It is called cowboy camping and I find it very pleasant when conditions allow.
