Narrative:

Botched departure out of madrid. After departing runway 36L at mad we did not make the right turn to intercept the 008 degree radial as indicated by page 10-3D. We did parallel the outbound course and at 12 DME made the left turn to cnr. We realized our error after the departure when finding the fine print on page 10-3L. Page 10-3L has a note that states for initial climb out procedures refer to charts 10-3 to 10-3D. Page 10-3D had the notes for intercepting the 008 degree radial. I believe this is the only SID that I have flown that has referenced another SID page. Fatigue also played a part in my overlooking of this note. The night before was spent in a substandard hotel. Around XA00 am my room temperature went from around 68 degrees F to 90 degrees F. With the window open my room cooled to 80 degrees F. The trade off was that now street noise kept me up most of the night. My first officer had the same problem with room temperature. Many other cabin crew complained of the same problem. 2 problems were directly related to our error. One is the small print of the note to refer to another chart. Sleeping conditions. Had we all had a good night's sleep and the fine print printed in bold, I believe this error would not have happened. Please reprint this note in bold on the 10-3L page and change hotel in madrid.
