Default Falling?

This might be silly, but I worry about my gecko falling. He is in a 18x18x24 tank. I have some plants in there and a mushroom ledge and vines, but he goes crazy at night and if I get up, he jumps and I hear him hit the glass and he falls. Sometimes I wonder if the tank is too big but everything I saw said that was a good size for him as an adult. He is 11months now, healthy size for his age. I started putting a sheet over the front so he won't freak out when I get up and my bedroom is really the best place for him. Does anyone else worry about this? I am thinking about getting some more stick on the glass plants anyway. So he will land more on them than the ground. I have a bedding of 2inches of eco earth on top of an inch of hydroballs.

I used to worry all the time, but eventually I saw that they were fine even if the sound of them jumping around does sound like they're falling flat on their faces. I do have rocks and other hard surfaces, but placed away from the glass. They mostly fall when they're climbing the glass. If they hit some hard water spots, down they go!
