One thing that kept nagging at the back of my head this whole time I’ve been here has finally popped into focus now that the kids are here.
Our kids have adjusted themselves to sleep schedules that follow the sun. That is, when the sun goes down they go to sleep. When the sun comes up they wake up.
Being from a roughly equatorial latitude, this means 6:30 am to 8:30 pm pretty much most of the time. Sunrise, Sunset in Houston, TX, USA
Not so here up in the Northern latitude. Currently sunrise is at 4:30 am, sunset is at 9:30 pm. 16 hours of daylight. Really messing with the poor kids. Sunrise, Sunset in London, UK
I noticed it but never thought about it. Pretty much I’m tied to the clock and I can sleep standing up, so the extra daylight never bothered me.
Kind of makes me wonder what’s going to happen when the pendulum swings the other way in the fall…
