Oz lite-weights!

My visiting Ozzies are in bed by 9pm! They cant understand why its not dark as they say it is pitch-black all over in Oz by 7pm.

How long will it take for them to acclimatise to our long days and remain awake for adult hours................they are all adults!

Awww , bless them , don't forget their body clocks are still working on Aussie time difference. When I came here from Australia it took me a while to stop falling asleep too early.

It's usually about an hour per day to adjust properly, so it depends where in Australia they're from

a day per hour of time difference minus three hours (ie 7 hours difference, 4 days). However, activity in daylight, and occasional naps, can speed it up. The best way to speed it up it to slog through a day regardless of how bad you feel, then collapse, hoping you don't get hyper

I've just got back from a year travelling all over Oz and it only got dark before or around 7pm when it was their winter... as it does here!

Don't forget Australia is a bloody big place and covers several time zones, so whilst it might be 7 o'clock (and dark) on one coast (Perth, West coast), it might be gone 10 on the other coast!! (Sydney, East coast). Also it varies by season and the angle of the sun - just like here. At the moment it is mid-winter in Australia, with the associated shorter daylight hours.
