10 Altitude Sickness Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Insomnia
Getting a good night’s sleep is very important for good health even when not climbing to high altitudes. Sleep is even more important after prolonged physical exertion, such as mountain climbing. Unfortunately, a symptom of altitude sickness is insomnia.
No matter how tired a person may be after climbing all day, it can be very difficult to get any sleep at all. This can be problematic if someone has to start climbing again the next day.
