Winter is around the corner. I've always had a hell of a time mustering up having to get out of my sleeping bag on a really cold morning. Any of you have tips to make the brisk transition from a comfy bag to the freezing air?

get good and fast at quickly getting fully dressed into your warm layers as soon as your out of your bag
then as fast as you can make a big fresh brew of stout coffee
followed by some Mountain house breakfast skillet

Something that's always helped me is to immediately change into whatever I'm wearing for the day. It's the first thing I do every morning aside from slug some water
I think it helps you realize "I'm up and at em now" and plus you'd have to change back into sleeping clothes to go to bed. Also the sooner you warm up your day clothes the better

If you have a good-sized bag, you may even be able to change into your warm layers without leaving it, that makes exiting a hell of a lot easier.

Even better, just sleep in what you're going to be wearing the next day. If it's too bully, just wear your base layers and tuck your other clothes in the bag with you so they're nice and toasty when you wake up the next morning.

Can confirm. After a night of alcohol I can't take a shit unless I pound about 2 cups of water.

Drink your water people.

That's not how this thread works, Armchai Rwarrior. Turn your fedora 180 degrees, and an additional 180 degrees and get the fuck out of here.

Get moving fast to warm up your body. Motion is essential to staying warm, so keep busy with camp chores and the like.

Drink water before bed (good for you anyway...) and wake up having to piss like a racehorse. If you don't want to sleep in your own mess again the next night, you'll get your ass out.

Or you could end up snuggling your piss bottle. I'd rather get cold nuts and take a whiz outside.

Use 3 layer system of clothing and wear a hat when sleeping.
Sleep in your base layer with mid layer under your head as pillow so it gets some of your excess bodyheat leaving your sleeping bag. When you wake up, crawl halfway out of your bag, put on your mid layer top, then get out completely and put on your mid layer pants. Finally put on your shoes (and top layer if you need). That way you won't freeze much when dressing up.

As for the morning sluggishness, some cold water and brisk pace when dressing up work the best for me. Then have some coffee or do some limbering-up. Whathever works for you.

Have a plan and put your clothes on in order. First just peel the bag off your upper body so you can put on your shirts and after you've accomplished that you can start worrying about other things.

My desire for food usually does it for me. Maybe it's because you burn more calories when it's cold out but for some reason I always wake up starving when winter camping.

I haven’t actually gone camping in the winter yet but I could imagine what I’d do. I’d have kindling and sticks prepared for a fire so I could change and immediately start a little fire. Boil up some water for some tea and cook up some breakfast, that would have me feeling awake.

coldest time of the day is in the morning just before sunrise
in the actual cold you have to force yourself to get out of your sleeping bag, and then into your frozen boots.

Though it is a good idea to have materials for a fire prepared already, that always helps a ton

Uco makes tiny candle lanterns that really help. Used one -5°C and didn't have to ever really be IN my sleeping bag. I have a warm baselayer also

Don't know if anyone has posted this and I'm too lazy to check; I always pull my clothes into the bag for a bit to warm them up to body temp before putting them on.
Helps alleviate the temperature differential a little bit

Not only is that inadequate, but also you’re going to be smelling fresh while you do nothing with your eyes closed for 8 hours.
