Poor sleep camping

[westernarcher]

zenbivy is my go to system now. I now sleep in light base layers, top and bottom, because your laying directly on the pad. That alone helped tremendously because in a mummy I slept in just my briefs and my legs and torso would be sweaty & clammy from the days exertions. I use Sea to Summit etherlite XT insulated version. I did use zenbivys sleeping pad and it was not as good, but close. A bear got into camp last year and destroyed the zenbivy pad. So back to Sea to Summit with no regrets. Sorry if I'm rambling but that's all I got for now

I LOVE my SG bag as it is big enough to toss and turn in - my wife jokes that my sleep pattern is the same as a rotisserie chicken.
If I have to sleep in anything more than my sleep shorts/boxers and a t-shirt then I can't sleep well. I also very, very rarely get cold while sleeping. If I get even sorta warm then my sleep quality goes to sh!t. For instance, I keep our bedroom at home around 55 degrees when the wife lets me. Left to my own devices I won't close the bedroom windows until the temps get into the 30's.
As for sleeping with skin contacting the pad and getting clammy, I have found that a single sized fitted sheet over my pad makes a huge difference. I have several of them that I snagged at Dollar General for something like $1.50/ea. Cotton is the best for me in this case.

This probably seems foreign to many as it was to me for decades...give a properly fitted hammock a try for blissful sleep.

I'll never willingly sleep on the ground again unless it is above treeline.
