I wanted to reiterate bluefish's comment about the pillow. I tried most of the recommended ultralight pillow techniques and always found myself tossing and turning throughout the night. I got a therm-a-rest compressible pillow. It's not too heavy but it is kinda bulky. It is luxury I am no longer willing to live without. When I backpack with my kids, I throw the pillows in their bags. It fills them up, so they feel like they are carrying a full load without cutting into the miles they can do.
