I am not a morning person by nature. But I find that pitching the tent and unplugging from the world for even a few days has me greeting the world as the sun crests the horizon.
Interestingly, some science may underlie this tendency for even night owls like me to convert to early birds when spending time in the great outdoors. This article explains that the “nature effect” on night owls who go camping is the most dramatic. Apparently, we are all morning people at heart.

Great image Kat! I am definitely a night owl! I also love camping (though it’s in a travel trailer) but I never really thought about how it’s easier for me to go to sleep early and get up early when I’m camping. Will try some of those daily tips especially with my nine year old daughter. She really has a hard time going to sleep at night.

Hard for us night owls to push the body to bed earlier sometimes — hope she might find a trick or two to help!

Don’t say “good morning” to me too loudly (especially if you’re singing at the same time). 🙂

I’ve noticed the same thing, I don’t even loath the mornings like I do at home when I’m camping! 🙂

I love mornings, but now that doggie isn’t around to get me out of bad quite as early, I have a tendency to linger in bed and miss some amazing sunrises. No there’s a New Years resolution 😆

Sunsets can be nice, too 🙂

I love it outside in the early morning! Your photographs really brought back memories of the years I spent in the Nevada high desert. Looks very similar. Beautiful.

That is a region I have not yet explored, but our time in this part of Colorado piqued my interest to explore those Arizona and Nevada and New Mexico sites.

There is no better way to greet the morning than being outside
In nature!

I regret that I did not force myself out of bed for a nice walk early several of these recent Fall mornings – Fall is fading quickly!

I’m a night owl. It’s three a.m. right now! But I am trying to get up earlier. That was an interesting article. Maybe I will throw those blinds up and let the morning sun in. Nice picture, Kat.

Thanks, Maddie — it is so much harder for me to push the alarm earlier versus push bedtime later! When I have trained for half marathons and had to get up early on Saturdays to meet friends for a long run, I always appreciated it afterward — and found my body clock slowly shifting, because I knew that morning alarm would be miserable if bedtime didn’t come earlier too!

I’m with you, Kat. I’m by no means a morning person but, when camping, I love getting up with the birds and watching the sun rise. Pure bliss! 🙂

Getting up close and personal with nature will do it every time! We can’t stand to be asleep when the sun comes up and there’s so much going on out there! We may miss something great. 😉

Morning does have special gifts that just can’t be discovered later in the day sometimes.
