>>1979204>I've always slept awful outside. Any tips welcome regarding thatTry a hammock. Not a decathlon or aliexpress cheap piece of shit, you need it to be of a decent size and material to actually be comfortable. Try to get something at least 330cm in length made out of non-stretchy material (they usually don't tell you that so some trial and error is required, you can feel if the hammock is squeezing your shoulders). DD Hammocks Chillout is a safe bet, even though it's shorter, it's really wide so you can lie more diagonally in it. There is a bit of a learning curve to sleeping in a hammock, but once you dial it in, you will never want to sleep on the ground again.
Initially you don't need an underquilt, you can sleep perfectly fine on an underinflated air pad and cover yourself with an unzipped sleeping bag.
Another thing is earplugs. You might not be consciously afraid but your brain is keeping busy trying to recognize and catalogue all the little unknown sounds it keeps hearing, preventing you from falling asleep.
