So I am one of the dreaded early risers (a silent one, I fervently hope and pray). I am not an early nighter - I think 10pm is perfectly reasonable and can frequently be found knocking back wines far later than that! I do, however, absolutely treasure my dawns, and to walk amongst them is one of my greatest joys on any journey. Hence, I like to be packed and gone by the predawn, whatever time that is.
I basically have everything in my pack, and simply roll out of bed, and carry my sleeping bag outside. I do all preps in the corridor or public area - no plastic bags.
I'm pretty used to communal living, and really don't mind much what others do. What I struggle with is the anger or irritability of others. I've rarely if ever had it directed at me, but I've seen it directed at others, and it is seriously unpleasant. Yes, some people can be quite extraordinarily oblivious to the disruption they cause either early morning or early at night, but it doesn't justify censure from others. At times the albergues can feel policed by people who believe they have a special right to lay down the law of the camino, and I find it unutterably tedious. Walk as you walk, smile at who you meet, and if you don't like it - book a room for the night, which I usually do if I am feeling lacking in happy clappy spirit.
Let's face it. We're all adults, we all have our own ways of doing things, and sometimes, sleeping with fifty odd people you don't know is going to piss you off. If it does, sleep somewhere else and have a glass of something nice!
My two cents worth.
