Wake up early, hunt all day, then lay down on my Big Agnes insulated air core pad.   Out like a light.

Bag liner so I dont stick to the bag and ZMA supplement.  Also before I lay the tent out I make a small depression for my hip bone (much more comfy).  Works for me.

Work hard all day so I am good and tired, plus fresh mountain air.

gifting with bigfoot.....makes you all warm and fuzzy, and thus you sleep like a baby.

Good sleeping pad, warm sleeping bag, and an ipod so I dont hear my partners snoring!
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

That is an awesome idea! That is one thing that kills me sleeping on the ground, that and my shoulder. I'm gonna try that next time.
