And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.Your support makes all the difference."
"The Nordic countries are no strangers to the long, dark winter. Despite little to no daylight plus months of frigid temperatures people who live in northern Europe and above the Arctic Circle have learned how to cope mentally and physically with the annual onset of the winter blues, which can begin as early as October and last into April for some."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting, maintain free access without paywalls, and support journalists who report across the political spectrum. Nordic countries face long, dark winters with little to no daylight and months of frigid temperatures, which can trigger winter blues beginning as early as October and lasting into April. The winter solstice on Dec. 21 marks the shortest day, after which sunlight increases but winter remains. Limited daylight disrupts circadian rhythms and prevents internal body clocks from synchronizing, which can alter sleep patterns and lead to longer sleep in winter. Maintaining sleep and social habits helps coping.
