And, depending on how far north you go, should be taken seriously. In Iceland, out of my exchange students cohort of ~10, once the winter hit, one had to escape home and two were hospitalised after too much drinking. It can be a really tough experience, especially when you don't have close friends/family to contact and lose track of time.



Yeah, not all humans do well in the dark. I wonder if this happens for some of the submariners ? Maybe on boomers (the nuclear powered missile submarines) since those spend a very large proportion of each mission underwater ?

I expect I'd be fine with this because I don't normally interact much with sunlight, the windows in my home have the blinds down 24/7, etc. But you can't really tell for sure without trying it.
