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 depressed 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.
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
I would love to live in this
The rates of alcoholism and suicide in northern Scandinavia show most people dont.

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.
What stuff is there to do in Northern Norway during the winter time?
Going for walks, mostly. Or socializing in town.
Sounds fun, I might go vacation there one day
