    Not unless they involve actual death, no.

    Found myself going to bed very late at night, look outside at 21:00 it looks like 17:00
    This morning woke up and the sun was shinning brightly, thought I had over slept, look like 10:00, it was only 7:00.

    How do the other up north CUK's handle these long long days.
    I was working one place, living in Helsinki, I went and bought some black card from an art suppliers and blocked the windows.

    It was a new apartment block and they didn't have curtains.

    @ Nor, I lock mine in the conservatory now and forget what a pain they can be.

    @ AP: I am starting to struggle recently, I must admit!

    Sorry 04:45 is not day, it's still bedtime for me. Don't know how you do it MP.

    So where are you? Watford or some ghastly Northern place like that? How awful.

    Is that the place called the Devil's Causeway?

    I once spent a midsummer working in Sweden, when it never got dark at all. It does throw you a bit.
