The next good night's sleep I get when camping will be the first. Too cold, too hot, damp, deflated air mattresses, sore hips, mosquitoes in tent, leaky tent, bright light at 5 in the morning, noisy neighbors, it's the worst.

The only halfway decent nights' sleep I ever got was when I was drunk, exhausted, or both.
It was tolerable when I was a teenager or in my early 20's. Now? Fuck that -- I want a great mattress, a climate-controlled room, and blackout shades.

One night in the hut, someone in the same room woke up shouting - night terror. That woke me up, and I started shouting too. Was like a bunch of dogs (nm)
