We all want a good nights sleep, but do not fret about it. Don't ruminate about the sleep you will not get, but try to relax and focus on the positives.
Another byline for the ForumMy lovely wife and I completed the Camino on Oct 8. On of the best lines we heard during our walk comes from an unidentified US army medic:
"Embrace the suck"
We reminded ourselves of our new mantra on a few occasions.
Cheers
The@Calimocho -
Better sleep? Try a reasonably full belly topped with a glass of wine (maybe 2).
When really down? Just ask yourself three questions:
1. Is there a higher number of good people I meet everyday in my "other life" than I am finding here?
2. Do I generally get this much fresh air and fitness at home?
3. Seriously now, would I really rather be at work?
I'm pretty sure that will renew your perspective on the "down" days. (And I actually like my job...kinda/sorta)

A German pilgrim said there are lots of ups and downs on the Camino and I said that yes it's a bit hilly. She said that's not what I mean. Now I know what she meant...The day before yesterday, my legs ached terribly and yesterday I had no problems at all (begging for a spare ibuprofen might have had something to do with it.) Now I'm finishing up a sleepless night and a bit worried about what today's walking will bring. Any help on getting better sleep and not letting the down days get to you would be appreciated.
