19 hours of daylight

I know, it's stereotypical Alaska-speak to go on about the long hours of daylight. But, hey, it's our blog and we'll blog if we want to. It isn't even the solstice yet and already it's light for all of our waking hours & then some. Today, sunrise was 4:30 and it won't set until 11:30! 19 hours. I used my car's headlights once since i've been here. It was 11pm & I only needed them because it was cloudy.
The locals warned me about having trouble sleeping but I haven't noticed any problem at all getting to sleep. My only hic-up is waking in the night and thinking I've overslept when it's really only 4 or 5 am.
Now, come winter it will be reversed and it'll be dark almost all the time. We'll see how we cope with that.............
