I'm having a bit of a life crisis, coping with the high mileage of my physiology. The gist of it; I rarely sleep in a tent anymore, and it's not for lack of trying. I *love* sleeping in the outdoors, but my last night out, I spent a collective 2'ish hours sleeping, the remaining 6 spend pondering the mysteries of the universe and the painful complexity of the human shoulder joint.
I've got a Big Agnes that puffs me up about 2 inches off the ground, which really helped my back over the years. But anymore, it's not enough. By nature I toss an turn, invariably ending up on my side, and eventually being woken by shoulder pain.
I'm past the "Tough it out" point, since this degree of sleep deprivation can be dangerous when climbing. Any sleep aid beyond Aleve seems like a similar gamble.
Anyone else out there with beat up old bodies have similar problems? Better yet; Any solutions?
