What is a problem is wanting to go to sleep when it gets dark. We're camped at the Las Vegas race track for the NHRA Finals. We finished some steaks and I went for a trash walk. It had already been dark for a while. On the way back I yawned a couple of times and thought it was time to get bed. I looked as down at my watch and it was only 6:20 PM. I guess that's what I get for living in Alaska for so long and either associating darkness with it either being late at night or cold.Bill

Back in the day when the influx of oil workers was in full force you could pick out where they lived by the tinfoil on the bedroom window. We still see it in many RVs up for the summer. Terry

Our first trip to Alaska was summer, 1999. My son was 7. One day we were out and about and he kept complaining he was hungry. It was still light so I told him it wasn't dinner time yet-without looking at my watch. Poor kid-it was 9:00 at night! We felt so bad but having lived on the east coast our entire lives we were waiting for it to get dark!

Yep, its the pits watching the 11 o'clock news as the sun sets in the north window, then going outside for an hour to read the paper.

Or sitting in the mh @1.30 in the morning and wonder why you might be tired, that is what Whitehorse did to us first time up there, Day light goes on forever in the early summer.

Having worked rotating shifts for 45+ yrs I still get stuck on graveyard shift every once in a while ------12 yrs after retiring :SNow that I think about it........all my jobs have been non-routine shift hours. No wonder I am such a night-owl

The daylight was our biggest surprise during our first Alaskan trip. I knew it. but the reality of actually seeing it was an eye opener. (pun intended)

The bedroom windows will be dark before we leave on our 2016 trip.
