I went to visit my friend last week. He told me that after sunset he went to sleep. He then woke up and got out of bed at least 180 times before the sun rose again. However, he said that he always slept for at least 7 hours at a time. How can this be explained?
Answer
He lives at the South Pole where, during Winter, the sun doesn't rise for six months at a time.Hide Answer Show Answer
