Yes! We've commented that out caravan must emit some kind of relaxing pheromone because we're permanently tired when we're away no matter how long we go for.

I even bought a carbon monoxide detector because I was convinced there was something making me so sleepy.

I think with such a busy life & full time work my body just switched off when we're away, having said that I really enjoy having an afternoon snooze on the bed.

I normally get up at 5am for work and usually go to bed shortly after 9 pm

When we are in the caravan, the OH usually wants to play scrabble most of the night, but I still wake up at 5 (if I get to sleep by then.) Unfortunately, it's not unknown for the scrabble to go on until 7am  

Still, at least it's quiet.

something we defiantly need to be getting into....for the Friday evening if nothing else..... nowt like trying to find a super market at 9-45 pm when all the local stores close at 9.00

But I have this feeling we are not the only ones that have experienced this

Kevin we usually take pizza and garlic bread (fresh delli ones) for the 1st night its dead easy bang in the oven whilst sorting your pitch and porch awning, ready when you've finished sit down for tea and a beer.

it's tradition now on all our trips the pizzas actually travel in the oven to site

We tend to walk all day and we think we will watch a bit of TV when we get back, but end up asleep at 9pm. We get up very early though - breaky, shower and off again. Love it!
