This website shows sunrise and sunset times for this tiny town on the Arctic Ocean. It shows a neat sun graph of the days getting longer until it's just constant day.
This is the time of year when sleeping is a struggle. Contrary to popular belief, some parts of the Arctic can get very warm in the summer, and never let up. Summer heat at 3am isn't fun. This is where I discovered Melatonin in the 90s. It wasn't legal in Canada then. You do what you can to escape the sun. Eye masks, tin foil in your window, a fan for noise.
Winter was the opposite. Get home from work in the pitch darkness and you just wanna sleep. 8 hours a night never feels like enough.
People have no idea how much the sun affects them until it starts doing wonky shit in the sky.

This is why polar vampires migrate.
