I’ve lived in Finland for most of my 40-odd years but I can never get over how weird the nightless nights feel at the beginning of every summer.

It’s 3am and this is as about as dark as it gets. That just ain’t right, it ain’t natural. Makes a person wish for thicker curtains

I was in the north of Norway recently, and it was really weird how my sleep cycle was completely disturbed by the continuous light. I’d think it would get easier if you live there for a long time but apparently no?

Hasn’t gotten easier for me at least 😅 The only time I’m up at 3am is summer.

Both summers and winters here remind me of the fact that I’m still an animal that has some deeply wired in reactions to sunlight.
