That's because the farther north you are....the longer daylight hours are. Same goes the farther South you are...the shorter the daylight hours are, since it's winter in South half of the hemisphere, ie: Australia, South America, South Africa, etc. Since the Earth's axis is tilted and the sun shines on the planet Earth indirectly. Have you learned that in school about astrology and stuff?

Yeah....if you're in Alaska in the peak of the scholistic (June 21st which summer begins) You'll be seeing sun for 24 hours straight up in North Alaska. South Alaska will get around 3 hours of darkness. I remember visiting Alaska back in 1988 and saw sun go down at 12 or so AM and sun rise at 3:30 AM, that was wild!

Who knows? I didn't have trouble with that when I was in Alaska. All they do is have to get used to it. ;)

Hehe, sleep in day is just way better than lamp was on but lamp is just give treats to kids that's too scared at night. I just kidding about dark curtain, but blinds are good enough so no need get curtain. Thanks for fast reply and explained about sunset and sunrise.

It's after 1 pm.. school is tomorrow then good nite to everyone.
 
Sunrise at 5:33 AM and Sunset is at 8:44 (I looked it up Demcrateandchronicle.com :) )

SO later on sunrise will be earlier I guess and sunset go later.
 
Today:

Sunrise 6:13 a.m.
Sunset 8:23 p.m.
 
Not sure when the sun comes up or down..... The one thing that would really help is to buy an air conditioner that actually fits your window in your bedroom then you will be able to sleep better. I never use fans that much. A/C works 100 x much better.
 
here in Arkansas where I live...

You live in Alaska? Since I noticed you have the sunrise and sunset times are short with long daylight hours. I was in Alaska with those similar times back in 1988.
