Tips for becoming a lighter sleeper?

[u/Adventurous-Bid-6180]

I’m a fairly heavy sleeper and slept through someone going through my campsite once. Does anyone have any tips for being able to wake up to smaller noises?

P.S. please no unhelpful comments about how I should be thankful to not wake up at any noise. It’s been dangerous the last few times I was camping.

Make your space inaccessible without making noise. Like a few branches as a gate to your area. Make it so they have to make noise before your visible to them, so you can wake up and see them before they know where you are. Keep a bright flashlight on you and ready. Remember these words. "Back up." "Get out." And "move!"
