Night falls predictably so you shouldn't be surprised, it happens about the same time the night before. Sometimes weather, storms, cloud cover can cut available light sooner than other times. Use a map. Get off the road with enough light to have dinner and set up camp, rest, hydrate, stretch and loosen up. The quality of your campsite and sleep can go down fast if you're looking in the dark.
