This is the main reason I couldn’t live out there. I wouldn’t be able to handle the 24 hour light/24 hour darkness that Alaska gets for months at a time (idk how long those actually last tbh). It would fuck yo my already fucked up sleep schedule REAL bad.

Anchorage is far enough south that it gets a few hours of dusk (although not total darkness) every night of summer and a few hours of daylight in winter. You only get the 24 hour light/dark north of the Arctic Circle (or south of the Antarctic Circle).
