Answer 1

In the UK around this time in April, the sun usually rises at 6.30 AM and sets at around 7.30 PM, in the winter however, the sun usually sets at around 4-4.30 PM! I hate it in the summer when you're trying to get to sleep and its still light outside = /...

Answer 2

I used to live in Alaska where in the summer around Solstice (June 21) it's light a whole heck of a lot.  In the Northern latitudes you can literally chase the sun because the latitudinal lines are so close together.  I'd say it would get dark around 2am and light around 4am.  Basically it's light the entire day.  The sun rises and sets in basically the same place during the summer too.  It just does a strange eliptical in the sky so you can never look at the sun and say "oh, it must be noon".  I was always able to sleep but they say Alaskans get the least amount of sleep in the country in the summer because your body just doesn't want to shut down.  I would be vacuuming at midnight and not even know that it was bedtime. I'd be full of energy until it was really late.  And of course the opposite in the Winter.  I would sleep a LOT!
