Length of "day" is 15 hrs 40 min. My kids seem to care more about the "visible light"... I've put tinfoil in the top halves of their bedroom windows to help darken the room but still be able to see out the bottom half during the day.

That must be nice for parents near the equator!! The birds start singing here about 4am, dawn creeps up by 5, and my youngest wakes up at 5:30. The sun is painting the sky with color at that time of day, and by 6 it is up. It isn't fully dark until at least 10pm. In winter, we get the other extreme, daylight around 7 or 8am, sundown around 5 or 6pm. Somewhere I read an entry about life in Northern Sweden with the no night-time in summer phenomenon. I couldn't handle that. I'd go absolutely insane. I'm a Night Person. Wow, I didn’t realize you had so many night hours in Singapore (though if I’d thought about it a bit I would have).

That was really tough for me, especially since in France we have shutters on windows and bedrooms are totally dark even if it's daylight outside. I had to get used to sleeping in daylight, but I just don't sleep as well... And in Manchester it’s even worse!

Our sunrise/sunset is similar to San Francisco's - I'd probably be just as messed up in London. We have heavy dark curtains, my husband is light sensitive.
