Kaamos

Kaamos is a Nordic term describing the period during winter when the sun doesn't rise above the horizon, resulting in continuous darkness or twilight. Common in northern regions like Scandinavia, it can last several weeks and affects daily routines and mood. While some embrace the unique atmosphere, others may experience mood changes or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). People often counteract Kaamos's effects with artificial lighting, outdoor activities, and social interactions to maintain well-being during this dark season.
