Duane, I try to cut back on what I drink in the evening, but usually wind up getting up anyway. Not a fun thing in winter with snow on the ground, even with down booties. But better than laying in the bag, debating what to do. I just get up and get it over with then back to sleep.

One tip, unrelated to that-I keep an energy bar at hand (I have a little net pocket above my head and off to the side) and if I wake up cold, I eat about half of one and I'm good for the rest of the night with some more fuel in the furnace. Amazing what a difference, just a few calories makes.
