Bedtimes

[MotherNature]

What's the general time that everyone turns in while camping and when do you usually get up?

I feel like we're always the earliest to turn in and the last to wake up - just looking for a reality (or is it laziness?) check!

[PattieAM]

I generally come inside the PUP around dark-thirty, might have a quickie shower before changing for bed, grab a book and have an hour or so of reading before dropping off to sleep.

Generally I find myself waking around dawn - when the birds are chirping.  Then I enjoy a nice cuppa coffee while I come to life and by that time quiet time is over and I'm ready to face the day!

Now, if the grand kids are with us, we might have a campfire, in which case bedtime is a little later.

We generally head to bed at Quiet Time and wake up when the birds wake us.

After dark we either sit by the fire or go inside and watch a DVD.  Either way we go to bed between 9 or 10.

I'm the first to wake at around 6-7 and get right up drink some juice and I'm off for a walk.  I love that first bit of time in the morning when things are still quiet.  I know that I wake before most in the campground but never first.

If we're camping alone, my wife will usually turn in around 10:00 and I will usually stay up another hour watching the fire burn down and gazing at the stars. I always wake up around the break of dawn. If we are camping with friends we have been known to stay up until midnight, but I still get up at the break of dawn.

Ditto here...start coffee...But then I go right back to bed and sleep a little longer, DW luv's to sleep in, but she's still up at a respectable hour. I love to nap when ever possible during the day.

We would love to "sleep in" or at least get to stay in bed until 7 or 7:30!  LOL unfortunately, camping with the kids, they are always up no later than 6 or 6:30  no matter how late they get to bed so to make for an easier day we try to get them in bed no later than 9.  Then DH and I will sit by the fire a little longer and turn in between 10 and 11 or so.

We usually turn in around 10 unless we are out in the desert with our neighbors then it's more toward midnight. For work I am usually at work before the sun comes up so I'm an early riser anyway so when camping I'm usually up just before the sun. I love sitting outside by myself listening to the birds sing, enjoying my coffee while watching the day begin.

Family usually goes to be bed around 10:00 P.M. and awakes at around 8:00 A.M.  I usually stay up until Midnight or later, either reading, writing in camping journal, going for a night hike, fishing, or campfire gazing.

[dthurk]

We go to bed when we're tired and get up when we're not.  After all, we're camping.  The actual times can vary.  Often we wake up with the birds but then roll over and go back to sleep listening to their natural lullaby.  We also love the sound of rain on the camper.  Rain will cause us to increase "sack time", usually keeping us in bed longer in the morning.  We don't care what others might think about our sleeping patterns.  After all, we're camping.   DD doesn't want to show up until at least 9:00.  I don't think it will be too many more seasons before that becomes noon.

What? no one said after the last adult beverage is consumed? I'm retired with no set schedule. We usually have a campfire and go to bed when we can not stay up another minute, then wake whenever we feel like it. Absolutely love rainy nights for sleeping, it knocks us out pretty quick. Sometimes we go to the camper and say we will listen to the radio a for a while, but that never lasts longer than ten minutes. Helps to have ear plugs for busy campgrounds. Sometimes after busy days, we are in the sack by 10 PM sometimes 1 or 2 AM in a woods setting with no one around. Leave the watch at home and have some fun...........Shredder

Ya....the word, "Sleep" is also open to different definitions. Some do it while falling out of their chair during a card game...... :J
