    6 months later, when sunlight is half visible on the horizon only 2 hours per day, this is your commute to school/work and back.

      As a Norwegian, I can agree. I always joke about going to school at night, and coming home at night, only seeing day from the windows in my classroom

          No doubt, most people would hate this and I understand why, but I for one am just not one of those people.

          I live in the northeast US and nothing depresses me like watching the days get longer as spring and summer approach. When winter comes, I sleep through all the daylight hours and only wake up once it’s dark, going to sleep as the sun comes up.

          If I’m ever crazy rich, my dream is the have two houses, on either side of the world, so I can live where it’s perpetually night for six months, and fly to the other house as soon as it starts to switch, so I can live in perpetual night.

        Come try it out! Northern Norway is so happy to see tourists in winter that they’ll probably pay you to rent a cabin for a month.
