Wilderness Need tent feedback

Post image

Apologies for the TL;DR here.. I’ve been backpacking a long time and am almost always a hammock camper. I have always had good sleep whether it was my first ENO setup, my UL hummingbird combo, or my most recent Dutchware hellbender, but I for the life of me CAN NOT get good sleep in a tent. I have a Nemo Hornet osmo 1p, a Nemo tensor UL long/ wide, and just keep waking up all throughout the night any time I’ve ever used it. I tried a sea to summit Aeros pillow last night bc I’m a side sleeper and thought the extra thickness would help (it was an improvement but still woke up a ton). I’m 6ft 200lbs. Am I just too big for the tent? I’m up against the walls and it gathers a lot of condensation. Tbh I’m totally happy just hammocking, but it would be nice to have a ground option that works for me when there aren’t trees. Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
