That's exactly it, you can help somewhat with artificial lights but not really.

Don't know if anyone actually can stand this. The closer you are to the equator the better your mental health gets just because of this.

In summer you have this nice thing that you wake up at 5am, also pretty shit for your mental health. I would have to get to bed at 10 to get 7h max.

I like it. Cold weather is best and I don't appreciate trying to sleep when it's bright.

Depends where you are but at 50N you will have both the winter depression and the summer craziness because you sleep 5h each day in summer. Or in winter 15h of sleepiness.

I hate it both, the summer thing you can try to get rid of by installing something in front or your window.

You cannot make winter less dark, I have not seen a light that does that. Maybe more cold blue in the morning.

i have seen a light that makes winter less dark. i lived in this place where i had a streetlamp just outside my only window. blackout curtains did not work. i would wake up at midnight thinking it was noon and it was just that godsdamned street lamp.

so like, there are solutions they just drive you the other end of crazy
