If you’ve ever slept out “in the wild” or gone camping, you probably understand how the sun affects your schedule. While roasting marshmallows around the campfire, time passes by quickly. Before you know it, you’re ready for bed – and yet, it’s much earlier than you typically go to sleep. The same is true as the sun rises in the morning. Even night owls wake up sooner on a camping trip.
