[pct-l] Can't sleep

I've found that I can't get much sleep while I'm on the trail.  At most  
I've probably had 2 hours a night total, although usually a lot less, and  
split up in smaller chunks.  I think I'm anxious about the passings  
critters and immigrants, at least in Section A where I've been hiking  
where there's plenty of evidence of both.  I know I tend to listen hard to  
everything I hear at night.  Should I wear earplugs, take sleeping pills,  
give it more time, something else??  Of course that may not be enough  
either since I tend to get up half a dozen times to piss, which is  
something I never do at home.  The sleep thing really sucks because I love  
being out on the trail during the day, but the nights may ruin it for me.   
What's weird is that I don't feel sleep deprived, but this can't be good,  
and it could end up being very very bad.  Please throw any and all advice  
at me, especially if you've had the same problem and got over it.
