Is it honestly possible to have a sound uninterrupted sleep while

>>973240
You just need to get used to it. Eventually you enjoy the sounds of nature and they help you sleep

You are skimping with the wrong gear. You forgot to buy the whiskey.

i sleep better in my hammock than in my bed at home (unless my thermal pad slips a bit)

you're probably sleeping just the same innawoods as at home. Most people only sleep 50 minutes at a time then wake up briefly. At home we just rollover and go back to sleep with no recollection. When camping you're in a memorable location so these interruptions remain in your mental heapspace.

at home I would have just flipped the pillow over and gone back to sleep.

>spend five months sleeping in a tent by a river in Alaska
>never sleep as good anywhere since.

You bought the wrong air mat.

Quit being a kike and buy something decent to sleep on/in

I sleep on the trail for six months straight, never felt better in my life; I go back to sleeping in my bed and constantly wake up tired and sore.

You probably just didn't give yourself a chance to get used to it.

Anon the only prerequisites for spending a nice night or nights in the woods are proper sleeping stuff and a sound mind.

Now you've indicated you have proper sleeping stuff...

are you saying a gun? What

Humans have a response to sleeping in a strange place. Your brain stays just a little bit awake to be more alert to dangers. I forget what the fuck it is called, first night effect I think?, but it varies from person to person.

I remember when I was a kid, I could never sleep when I went over to sleep at a friend's house, like maybe an hour or two at most. Same shit happens when I go camping. It goes away after a few days. Stay out for longer and your sleep will get better and better. Other than that I guess you could get some Melatonin. Stuff makes you sleepy but is non addictive and pretty damn mild. Just a bit of grogginess when you first wake up.

while we're on topic
what's something decent to sleep on ?

I wanna go bike packing and I want somehting comfi and reasonably priced , packing weight should be resonable but comfyness and price are more important

my gf convinced my melatonin is satanic so now I stay away. You get dependence like all sleep drugs

>>974845
Nigger melatonin is satanic

I have this problem too but im still new.

I bring my dogger, which is 50% Anatolian and a pistol, so safety concerns are gone. But its just damn uncomfortable.

I think it mostly has to do with sleeping position honestly. At home I sprawl out or curl up and can generally just shift around. Do that outside and suddenly youre on like 50 sharp ass rocks.

I have a hammock ill be trying this year though, so we shall see.

+1 for melatonin. But also if you can't sleep at night you haven't hiked enough. Exhaustion = sleep

>use a substance literally every night as a crutch
>cease to use it abruptly
>WAHHHHHH WHY DOES MY SLEEP FEEL OFF

Nigger, understand up/downregulation.

Am I the only one who needs to wake up to piss 3 times at night when it's cold?

Melatonin supplementation does not lead to dependence, tolerance, or any kind of downregulation. Please l2 drugs before spouting shit.

I spent almost the entirety of last summer sleeping out of a tent (~10 weeks). I'm a realllly heavy sleeper, granted, but for the first 5 days or so I'd wake up once or twice though usually this would be around 5:30-6:30 AM with me going to bed around 11:30-12. So more just waking up earlier than I needed to. After the first week though I slept through the whole night fine consistently minus a few times waking up to go pee (usually after drinking).

This. I usually do a few swigs before I pass out for the night and it generally knocks me out until morning. Helps with the cold and getting comfortable too.
