That's the benefit of changing your time zone (or daylight savings) — get later sunsets without high latitude.

8:40 pm

The nights seem immensely long compared to Paris...lol.

My sleeping schedule is still messed up - I'm awake a lot of the night, and having to take naps in the day time. A full night's sleep seems far out of reach at this time...

Don't think I'd like daylight north of 45°, gets too short midwinter, uselessly long midsummer. Latest sunset I'd appreciate is 9:15 pm or so, anything later is a waste. I rather like days from about 6 am to 9 pm in the summer. There's still light before sunrise and after sunset so it's really 5:30 to 9:30 of light. I woke up at 5:30 today, though I wasted some of the morning thinking "wow, it's early. I got plenty of time".

North I adjusted to est instantly except I woke up at 7am every morning and was really struggling to stay awake on the night of travel.

I agree - in Paris, I needed to get to sleep soon after 10, if I wanted a full night's sleep - since I have a hard time sleeping into daylight. If stayed up to midnight, I'd still be awake at six, when it was bright out, and I'd be sleepy. It only took two days to get synced up to the day/night cycle over there - I suspect it'll take longer for me adjust on this end.

I dunno what I'd do if I visited Norway in June (a country I badly want to visit.) Sleep will be as scarce as hen's teep on that trip, I suspect...lol.

I feel...soooo...tired...lol.

I think it's easier because you wake up late at home.

But you had all sorts of trouble on your return, right? Be glad you only have to shift 5 hours instead of 6...lol. (As if that makes any difference.)

No. All you do is stay up longer, like going out.

Well yes but its not so bad going there. I suppose 5 hours isn't a whole lot but it is a real struggle for me coming home, I just can't get to sleep at a reasonable time.
