I used to be able to do long UL backpacking trips and was once out for 15 days without a break in town. That was 20 years ago and now though and now i can’t sleep. I toss and turn all night and I think my pad and pillow are to blame.

This creates an interesting ultralight challenge bc it may mean i have to carry a “heavy” pad and pillow bc it’s the only way i can sleep.

I will read the many guides in this sub but I’m wondering if anyone else here has gone through this and how they solved it.

I’m currently considering buying a 1 pound 12 oz pad (insane). https://www.rei.com/product/186713/nemo-quasar-3d-insulated-air-sleeping-pad?irclickid=SqxT41x5nxycUS-ztP0OA3YAUksVa6X3uyuWQQ0&irgwc=1&cm_mmc=aff_IM-_-197432-_--_-
