“Is that weird, taking my Louis Vuitton bag camping?” Fashionista or not—the quote is from reality tv personality and singer Jessica Simpson—camping is good for you. It has a lot of benefits. For one, there are no reality TV shows around. But besides that, there are other perks. Like this one: Being in nature is good for your mood. Researchers examined campers for a week and found that sleeping away from artificial light helped reset their circadian rhythms and made them less groggy. Also, being away from phones and internet, camping gives you the opportunity to re-establish real connections with yourself, with nature and with friends and family.
