Soo...when I go to bed at night, the sun is up...and when I wake up in the morning...the sun is up. Officially the sun will rise tomorrow at 5:03am and set at 11:02pm...that makes for 17 hours and 59 minutes where the sun is in the sky. But just because the sun isn't in the sky doesn't mean it's dark. Dawn and Dusk blend together so that I haven't seen pitch black in a while. It's no wonder that most Natives in the village have backward hours: staying up until 4-5am and getting up around 1pm (or later). It's always a struggle...no matter how many summers you've had in Alaska. I'm working hard to keep my hours straight...but we'll see how long that lasts. :-)
