Nit picking, I know; when above the Arctic circle, the sun is up for 24 hours at the summer solstice and never rises at the winter solstice.
I think you mean to say "just below the Arctic Circle". Some place like Umeå, Sweden, perhaps. (Even then, it's not really "dark" when the sun dips just below the northern horizon.) Yeah, a time system based on sunrise/set really isn't going to work in the high latitudes.
And if we're talking Sweden, "daily dose of caffeine"? Is that breakfast, morning coffee break, end of lunch coffee, afternoon coffee break or after work coffee? :)
Good addition. Yes, I avoided the 'midnight sun / sun never sets' extreme because it actually kills the 00 = Dawn in one fell swoop. But I didn't realise how low a latitude that came (I did experience 'midnight sun' holidaying in Bergen, Norway, but even then it actually set a little later in the night.)
