So what's your experience been adjusting to altitude? Even get altitude sickness?
I usually get a bit winded on my first day or two out west -- nothing too bad. And I have trouble sleeping, too. I'm a poor sleeper, anyway, but in high altitude I can feel my heart beating faster than usual when I'm in bed, and it keeps me awake.
I understand some of the ways to avoid it are as follows:
1) avoid alcohol (before your trip and during)
2) drink plenty of water (again, before your trip and during)
3) adjust gradually, if possible.
Anyone have any other tips?
