Budget your time for when you have to get up so you are not late on day two.

Years ago when I traveled a lot for work and stayed in the cheap motels that my employer paid for, I found three alarm clocks to be quite useful.

Last summer on my bike tour I do not recall what time I had to get to the ferry terminal to make the ferry, but I think I set a new personal best for getting up early, having coffee and breakfast, and getting my campsite packed up early enough that I had enough time to ride to the ferry terminal on time.

I was early enough that I documented it with a photo.
