Dear Grishnak,
How do I get to sleep the first night in camp? The other orcs and scavengers seem to drop off to sleep the second they hit the ground. Then they start to snore, which makes it impossible for me to get to sleep.

There are two proven methods for doing this. If you have had the infamous Mordor stew for supper, a mere suggestion planted in the minds of the others in your tent can be quite effective in keeping them awake for hours. As soon as all are settled, shout out "I can’t feel my legs, I can’t feel my legs!!!" The others will leap up and rush off to find the nearest poison antidote. Try to get some sleep before they return.

Another ploy is to wait 'til everyone is nearly asleep, and say "Did you all hear that?" The only thing left to do is plump up your pillow, and get some sleep. The others will lie awake for hours, listening.
