- antisthenes 4y agoWasn't really the case for our camping trips. We usually stay up talking at least until 11PM and wake up roughly ~7:30AM What's different about camping is usually the quality of sleep. If you're a nightowl and you get 8.5 hours of really good sleep, you won't be feeling like crap waking up at 7-8 AM.
- stronglikedan 4y agoHah, yeah right! I get the shortest amount of sleep on camping trips, because I'm up with the sun, but I don't get to sleep until late, because everyone is hanging out and talking the night away. That said, as short as it is, it's some of my best quality sleep.
- evandale 4y agoI'm the exact same way and wondered if it's the fresh air and nature that causes that. I can operate on 4-6 hours sleep camping or at the cottage for as long as a week and it's so refreshing. And it's the most refreshing sleep I experience. I try so hard to replicate it in my normal life because I feel so accomplished when I wake up at 6am and walk down the road to shower and get ready for the day.
- bryceacc 4y agoif anyone cracks this code I would pay dear money for it. maybe i should setup my tent in the backyard for a week
- kayodelycaon 4y agoNah. My friends and I stayed up way late. Laying down on a frozen lake at 2am looking up at a moon-less star-filled sky. I will never forget that. :)
- OkayPhysicist 4y agoNot my experience at all, as someone who is both a night owl, and an avid backpacker. I figure a week in to a backpacking trek I've hit my no-screens adjusted schedule, and that still involves going to sleep somewhere a little past midnight, and waking up an hour or so after dawn.
