That is, self-inflating, air-filled and closed-cell foam.<\/li><\/ol><p>When planning a night in a tent, it is best to choose super-lightweight air models or closed-cell pads.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Eye mask and ear plugs<\/strong>Especially in summer, an eye mask and earplugs can be extremely important, as the sun rises early and you can sleep more relaxed thanks to the noise insulation - personally I'm not a big fan of these items, but I won't deny that they can make your night much more pleasant.<\/li><\/ol><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Como_prepararse_para_dormir_en_la_tienda_de_campana\"><\/span>How to prepare for sleeping in the tent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Once you have set up your tent, it's time to organise everything before bedtime. It is best to start at dusk, but when there is some light, obviously. This way, you will be able to prepare everything in advance and enjoy the experience of the night in nature more.<\/p><p>It is extremely important that you place lights in strategic places so that no one trips over the tent stakes. It is also important to place at least one <strong>lamp or torch inside the tent<\/strong>Some now even come with LED lights!<\/p><p>Yes <strong>you are travelling with your family and young children<\/strong> It is important that they keep familiar routines such as brushing their teeth, for example. In this way, they can get used to the environment and enjoy the trip more.<\/p><p>On the other hand, it is not recommended that you place food or scented items inside your tent, as this can impregnate your clothing with odours and attract wild animals during the night. We recommend that you read the rules for safe food storage at the place where you decide to camp.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-8904\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500.jpg\" alt=\"Be prepared to sleep in a tent \/ Photo: Steve Halama\" class=\"wp-image-8904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500.jpg 760w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500-600x395.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500-260x170.jpg 260w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_steve-halama-742773-unsplash.jpg_760x500-759x500.jpg 759w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><figcaption>Be prepared to sleep in a tent \/ Photo: Steve Halama<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><p>Similarly, it is important that <strong>do not sleep in damp, wet, dirty or sweaty clothes.<\/strong>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/mountain-hiking-clothing\/\">mountain clothing<\/a> recommended for sleeping are long, clean bedding and warm socks! It is important to remember not to sleep with too many clothes on because the sleeping bag cannot absorb body heat well. If you are cold, simply place a duvet or jacket over your sleeping bag.<\/p><p>Another issue is that of the <strong>physiological needs<\/strong>. It is recommended that you urinate twice before going to bed and 20 to 30 minutes before going to sleep so that you don't have to go out in the middle of the night. Also, don't forget to prepare a sandal area near the exit of the tent, as well as having a lamp or torch at hand.<\/p><p>Finally, be aware that during the night you may hear noises of wild animals roaming around your camp. However, don't worry if you've stored your food well, there's nothing to be scared of.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Claves_para_mantenerse_caliente_durante_la_noche\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/not-to-be-cold-bell-tent\/\">Keys to staying warm at night<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>All experienced campers have their tricks for keeping warm at night. Even if it's summer, if you go to the mountains, the temperature is likely to drop a lot. Keep the following tips in mind:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eat something before you go to bed. Digestion will warm you internally, which will generate the warmth you need to sleep comfortably.<\/li><li>Drink a warm - non-alcoholic - drink before going to sleep. Alcohol is not recommended because it dilates blood vessels, which stimulates heat loss.<\/li><li>Do some exercise before you go to bed and fall asleep. Not too much, as you might be sweaty or activate your body in a way that keeps you wide awake. This is a great way to warm up your body and sleep better.<\/li><li>Remember to wear their long underwear and clean, dry socks.<\/li><li>Wear a woollen hat if you are cold when you first get into your sleeping bag.<\/li><li>Put the hood of the sleeping bag around your head, even if you are wearing a hat. On sub-zero nights, you may end up leaving only an opening big enough for your nose and mouth.<\/li><li>Add a closed cell foam mat or pad under your sleeping pad. You will get better insulation.<\/li><li>If the sleeping bag is very large, place dry clothes inside your sleeping bag to fill the empty spaces and to reduce the area your body needs to warm up.<\/li><li>Tip: you can place a bottle of warm water near the centre of your body, as this is where the main heat-generating area of your body is located. To warm up even faster, try placing it near your femoral arteries, i.e. between your legs.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/ultralight-bell-tent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Everything you need to know about choosing an ultra-light tent &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many people refuse to experience camping because they find it uncomfortable, old-fashioned...","protected":false},"author":700,"featured_media":8903,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2946],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-8769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-montana","post_format-post-format-image"],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Consejos-para-dormir-en-tienda-de-campa\u00f1a_sayan-nath-165552-unsplash_760x500.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Caratula-Podcast-Maldita-Montana_1500x1500_72pp-p_.jpg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":[],"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/feed\/podcast\/maldita-montana","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"I3aiX9WGzI\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/tips-for-sleeping-in-a-tent\/\">Consejos para vivir una noche inolvidable en tu tienda de campa\u00f1a<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/tips-for-sleeping-in-a-tent\/embed\/#?secret=I3aiX9WGzI\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Consejos para vivir una noche inolvidable en tu tienda de campa\u00f1a&#8221; &#8212; Traves\u00eda.\" data-secret=\"I3aiX9WGzI\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
