you're lucky, it is 3:30pm in Finland. Dusk at 3pm. Up north it is even worse, although they've got the Borealis and usually snow.

Just checked my weather app and yup, sun rises at ~10am and sets ~2pm here in northern Finland

A bit difficult to fulfill that sunlight exposure every morning.

One element in timezone decisions is that kids should make the trip to school in daylight. But that is futile in Finland. Today's sunrise in Helsinki (very south) is nearly 9 o'clock.
