As an Aussie, the idea of 24/7 brightness and darkness are hard to get my mind around, even though I've been watching your videos for several years now! On another note, we've been able to see the Aurora Australis from some parts of southern Australia over the last couple of days thanks to the solar flares, and it reminded me of the northern lights in your videos 😊

Sensory overload! Every year I watch and I think to myself. I’d be speed cleaning my house at 3 am cos my brain wouldn’t shut off. I’d want to constantly look out at that view. I completely understand why you call it zombie season. Your brain starts thinking it’s going to miss something! Polar Day is gorgeous but I definitely get why you’re exhausted all the time. Enjoy your break!🥰

@Yesica1993 21 күн бұрын

I was thinking way too much about this and I have come to this conclusion as well. I get very depressed/sick in Chicago from the darkness in winter. I know I could never handle Polar Night. But this... may be more mentally exhausting. Your brain associates light/day with activity. My mind races all the time anyway. This would make it never stop!

Having light-blocking covers on your windows that you put down at about 7pm, and putting your light switches on automatic dimmers that will simulate the sun setting, would do absolute wonders for your circadian rhythm during polar summer. 🙂 Once the lights are off, you can just use a warm task-light that won't keep you awake, and would be very cozy.
