Sunlight.
Wake up when it's light, go to sleep when it's dark. Very simple.
Well, except this weekend when I was awakened by a very bright full moon shining through the window of my tent onto my face at 2:30 am. It was bright enough to read by.

You can sleep for 11 hours in September and 14 hours in December? How?

Oh, that's silly. And impossible. And in a tent even? Heroin addicts sleep less than that. My son maybe sleeps 11 hours sometimes, but that's because he is 3 years old.

You guy(s) can really sleep 11 hours? In a tent? Crap, I'll try for 8, but I am lucky if I get 6.
Laying in the tent, staring at the ceiling, waiting until daybreak, and checking the time every 5 minutes does not count as sleeping for me.

I'm usually a 6 hours sleeper at home but a few years ago I tested out my new bivy sac in the dead of winter. Watched TV until midnight then went outside, dug a trench in the deep snow and snuggled in. Thought I would be up early but to my surprise I slept in until 9:00 AM almost missing a 9:30 hockey game. Not exactly 14 hours in winter but longer than I ever imagined.

Well, I was also drunk, but that's just details.
