One of the worst things with living north of the polar circle is that one tends to get depressed and sleepy during the dark season. Even here in Oslo it can be pretty bad when having a regular office job; in the middle of the winter it's dark when going to work and it's dark when getting home from work
Wow, that's not a good experience, here we sometimes get confused with respect to morning and night in the minute way staying in bed so long which can cost a lot, for example when there is an early morning rainfall, now beginning to imagine darkness through the day, that's way in, it can get a lot depressing and confusing too.
You really did well coping with such variation of day and night, and your comments really taught us a lot about living in the Arctic, it's nice of you being here :)
