Tires me out!

I love camping but every time we get home, I am just so tired. I am not sure why but I think it is a combination of extreme amounts of fresh air and exercise. Do you ever feel this way?

Yeah, me too. I usually try to get in a nap during the day when the heat gets to me. I have a feeling if we did things like that every day, we would soon get used to it.

Oh yes everytime. I still go often though as I love to camp. I usually take an extra day off work just to recover from the camping trip. I think it's the fresh air and then coming home to a pile of laundry!

I seem to always be tired when I get home from any trip and especially a camping trip. I also like CBatch take an extra day off work just to unwind and spend a lazy day at home with the family before going back.

I love camping and yes it is very exhausting when you get home! I spend as much time as I can out camping with my family, so unfortunately, we usually get home and go to bed and I am tired at work the whole next day!

Don't mean to be cynical over here, but what did you expect? You are using your body it's only normal to get tired, plus the fresh air actually helps, it has a higher amount of oxygen which burns better and produces more energy thus making you feel less tired.

I am sure everyone expects to be tired woodsman. I know for me it is because I hike and bike a lot on most camping trips. I feel great while I am doing it though! Then coming home and having to unload the truck, unpack and do laundry doesn't help.

If you were to continue with the exercise and living like that, you would be a whole lot healthier than you are when you live day to day in the modern world. I love to camp though and try to go out whenever I can. I love the Fall of the year to camp because of the temperatures and the scenery.

Of course I do. I had a lot of lower extremity exercises at the camp ground because I keep on running in errands while outside the tent. When I got home from camping, I feel extremely tired that I want to go to sleep.

I tend to sleep better when camping sometimes, or when I get home.
