Longyearbyen experiences midnight sun from between 18 April and 24 August (128 days), polar night from 27 October to 15 February (111 days), and civil polar night from 13 November to 29 January. However, due to shading from mountains, the sun is not visible in Longyearbyen until around 8 March.
Everyone changes days at the same time. That’s the point.
You would get used to the switchover being in the middle of your working/waking day.
This wouldn’t be a big deal and if it were the status quo I bet someone, if not you, would be saying how dumb having everyone on different days would be in the mirror universe version of this thread.
Because who the hell wants to say it’s 11 in the morning while it’s dark out?
“No one,” sourly thought a reader in Longyearbyen, Norway. “No one, dammit.”
For no time zones? 🙋♂️
Do you also want the day to change from Sunday to Monday in the middle of your Sunday morning? Or do we change days at different hours everywhere?

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a major PITA. At all.
“What’s the date?”
“I don’t know; what’s the time?”
Have you … have you never stayed up past midnight? 👀
Not while at work. And at parties, it’s rarely of concern what day or time it is.
If I lived like a hermit in a first, yeah, it wouldn’t matter.
