Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.

These are just frankly necessary if you live far enough north. When I'm going to sleep at 11pm ish, the sun is still up lmao.

Went to the arctic circle for the first time. It's crazy how bright out it is at night. This is 12:30AM just after midnight.

What the-? How far up there are you?

I'm 61ยฐN, the sun barely sets in the summer. Today, sun rises at 3:51, sets at 23:14. It's proper dark for maybe 2 hours

I'm not op, but I'm 55ยฐ north.... It's 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it'll be nearly full daylight again!

51ยฐ N. I'm also on the fourth floor of a building, so the horizon is farther away. I'm exaggerating a little bit. By "still up" I really mean it's still bright enough out, twilighty, that it would affect my ability to sleep. Bedroom window also faces ~~east~~ west, so, yeah it's a combination of factors but still.

It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?

[โ€“] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry I'm just dumb, I meant that it faces west lmao.

[โ€“] WR5@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.

[โ€“] Gelik@feddit.dk 5 points 1 day ago

I feel you, I've got a streetlamp right outside my bedroom window! lol

Toss on a cheap sound machine and it's the best.
