I have not camped in years. Our family with our two kid went camping for the first time last year. I woke up early with the loud chatter of a chipmunk,
climbed our of our family tent and remembered the smells and sound of good outdoor camping...Can't wait till this summer to do it again.

I am not an early riser at home, I like to sleep. But I do find that when we are out camping, especially in a tent, that I am up early. I attribute it to the sun beating down with no curtains to keep out the light and we usually only have a fan in the tent, so it starts to get warm in there. Once I am uncomfortable I am up.

I am usually an early riser, however I usually just lay in bed until my husband wakes up. If I do wake up early and get up to go to the bathroom or something my husband will wake up. I usually try to be quiet, but it doesn't always happen. A nice quiet walk by myself or a kayak ride sounds like it would be nice.

I usually wake up early in the morning, perhaps being a habit with me still working and stuff. I'd wake up like around 5 or 6 in the morning and then go around for a bit. And then go back to sleep like two hours later and then really get up around 10ish.

I'm usually the last to bed and the first up. In the morning I will take a short hike, or go fishing, or simply make a cup of tea and find a nice spot to sit and read.

I really wish I could sleep in and I hope this is just an age stage or something. I could not even sleep in for Mother's Day this year and everyone in the house was disturbed when they caught me awake.

I sleep a lot less these days than I used to also, but I still don't like to get up in the mornings. I will lay there and try to go back to sleep before I drag my behind out of bed while it is still dark.
