It’s kind of cruelly ironic that the daylight hours are so long in the Scandinavian summer while the weather leaves so much to be desired for this time of year. In just a few days the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun will officially begin in the Arctic Circle. And while we’re not quite that far north, we’re still feeling the effects of perpetual sunlight.
We find we’re getting less sleep than usual. I try to use a sleep mask but if I get up in the early morning and see daylight, that’s it for me – I’m awake. Even with the blinds drawn we still have sun creeping in around them…might be time to invest in some blackout curtains! I think winter will be even more interesting, with the shorter daylight hours.
Have you ever travelled to the Arctic Circle in summer to see the Midnight Sun? I would love to see your photos…
