Good morning, Finland! The 20 hours of light is messing with me. Woke up at 3:30 and my brain kept screaming it was time to get up, look at the crack of light at the edge of the blackout curtains, UP UP UP!

I'm always amused and befuddled by people struggling with the midnight sun, but it's not entirely wrong to say people from those latitudes kind of go outside to play in May and don't come back in to sleep again until September. But then we have 8 months of dark to catch up on our sleep. :)

Yup, we have this in Scotland too. From late May to mid-July, it never actually gets fully dark. 😴

I use one of these eye-covering masks they sometimes hand out on planes, and it helps me a lot. They are also available at pharmacies.

The corollary to this is that in the evening, it looks like it’s about 6pm forever. You yawn, wonder why you’re tired, glance at the clock, and it’s 10pm.

That crack wakes me several times a night. But I’m tooo tired to understand it.

In Alaska in summer, the robins never, ever shut up. Never. From early May to September, nearly 24 hours a day.

That always does my head in. How can anyone adjust to that?

As a resident of the north of Sweden I have not gotten used to this 6 years in. We use thick curtains and eye masks but a tiny slip up and my brain goes into "good morning" mode

That's the reason people in Finland are so odd during summertime. 😂

I have a very precise built in clock. I do think that it would mess me up too.

I've learned to sleep with my head under the covers to manage 15+ hours of daylight near Seattle.
