My tips for a better sleep: you should get blinds in your kitchen and make your house darker in the evening. Also make your bedroom darker before going to bed so when you get in the room it’s already dark and cosy and not in bright daylight 😊

There is a kind of window covering from Europe (in Italy it is called a persianna) that is a kind of indoor shutter. It is an accordion type shade that has horizontal holes in it but when you let it all the way down, it completley darkens the rooms.

Grim is enjoying his life makes me really happy. He is being treated so well by you guys. I love it. I wish every animal/pet would get such a nice treatment.

Seems like the cabin now has blinds on all windows. A suggestion: Lower the blinds after a time that mimics a more normal daylight schedule ie say 9pm. Then spend those hours with the lights on like people do who have a normal sunset. Just a thought.

I honestly believe that if money were no object, I would become a Svalbard Snowbird!! Traveling back and forth between Svalbard (Just before, during and just after Polar Night) and some US state that is fairly cool in summer but has actual night time) I am so much like you. loving the dark and snowy world and not much fond of the summers' long lights. I also love my times of being alone. Live with my daughter and son-in-law but when they go off on their motorcycling trips etc, I just LOVE having the house to myself, even though that means taking care of cats and dogs :)

When you said "too much sun", I nodded my head in agreement. We'll have stretches of sunny days and I start to feel down, because I miss the rain and snow and darker days. Those days feel restful and cozy to me, and feeling cozy is my favorite feeling! My daughter and I are visiting Longyearbyen in just over a month and your videos have me SO excited for our visit!!!

What a great video once again. I love how much you and your dog are like best buddies. He is so precious and so loved. I am the same way when it comes to living a quiet life. People make the world too complicated and it should be simple. Take care and enjoy your time with Grim!

The Fur babies and the coffee are life❤❤

It's interesting how you love this solitude, yet you connect with so many! You have figured out how to have both! I love your beautiful spirit.

Grim has the best doggie life ever!! ❤

You make simple daily life lovely. Thanks for sharing your day.

My grandmother & mother (& now me) have always used a cheese slicer like the one you showed. It is definitely a needed kitchen utensil😊 I am always thinking about how much effort you put into filming your videos. Like the long shot of you walking with Grim. I think about how you have to get your video of you walking away so far & then having to come back for the camera. You put so much effort in capturing so many beautiful shots & I just wanted to say thank you! Love & hugs to Grim. ❤ (& you & Christoffer!)

Grim is not only a sweetheart; he is so very obedient to you! Thank you for sharing your life with us in Svalbard. I live on the East Coast of The USA in the Mid-Atlantic Region. But I have been fascinated for some time in areas where it is always colder. Thank you for all I have learned from your channel, Cecilia.

LOVE the bloopers and I personally would like to learn more of your language - maybe a word of the day in each video ? Love to see you back at home and missed Grimms beautiful face !

Hey Cecilia and Grim! Your little "Grim's Bistro" scene out on the deck, complete with menu, was so cute. He's just adorable! Here in Louisiana, I usually wash and pack away my winter things in March. During the warm months, I usually live as a night owl, so your room darkening blinds and shades tip was appreciated. Our blinds are currently white, so I'll just redecorate my bedroom. Can't wait to see your race video. Bright blessings. 💖

Hello fellow Louisianan!

The cheese slicer! We always used it at my grandmother’s house (Swedish). I’ve never seen anyone else’s family have one. Only grandma Lyda. My mother inherited it, so yes we still have it, and the ones you see at the grocery store aren’t the same. Cheap cheap cheap! I’ve not seen them at IKEA, but I haven’t been looking either! 😊

Grim is such a Beautiful Boy!! So sweet!!

I was never able to travel in my life. Thank you for showing us your part of the world. I travel via your videos.

I am not a cold weather person, but I would love to visit. The sheer beauty is the draw. Clean and simple. I love the quiet and solitude this part of the world offers. However, I’m not foolish enough not to realize the brutality of the weather at its worst and the real dangers that exist.

The blue light is what will mess up your sleep rhythms and will prevent you from getting good rest. I have worked as a truck driver for about 15 years and many times I have to sleep during the daylight hours. The only way to get good rest is to block all the light possible. You might try some better shades in you bedroom. The ones you have block most of the light but even that small amount it doesn't block will affect your sleep. You need some good blackout curtains / window coverings.

Hi Cecilia, to cut down on the nighttime sunshine, would you consider putting pull down shades on your kitchen windows? Perhaps, if you gradually lowered them throughout the evening, it would help your brain to know it’s night. Just as you added extra lights around the house for the polar nights, maybe you could put shades on all the windows for polar days.

I definitely needed to see this. I’ll be going to Oslo and The west of Norway for 5 weeks to visit family and friends. People are so wonderful in Norway. 10 days and counting for take off. I wish I could visit Svalbard, but in the meantime I’ll just enjoy the beauty of this glorious place through Cecilia’s eyes. Thanks so much for the great content and perfect music.

I’ve been binge watching your videos lately, I’m obsessed ☺️

I love so much that their "summer" gear are beanies and light gloves. MAN I need to go Svelbard!!! It sounds like my kind of weather!!!

I wonder if it would help the circadian rhythm if you were to get blackout curtains/shades for the living space too. You could close them a few hours before your ideal bed time to trick your body into thinking that night has fallen and it's time to wind down.

Love seeing Grim so smiley and happy. What a sweet boy!💙🐾

Glad you got back safe! Thanks for the reminder that I need to air out my duvet!

Cecilia! Imho, you could have a cottage business Offering in your merchandise, the Handmade polar bear sweaters and Christoffer’s mother’s Half Mittens by doing them as custom made orders, so you don’t have an excess inventory. I’d certainly buy both! I’d love a sweater in a grey toward the bottom and white on top. Just a thought. Both are very pretty😊🎉

I'm a loan wolf myself, I have my hubs who retired 5 yrs ago, we have our separate x, but do thoroughly enjoy being together, some may find that odd after 35 yrs of marriage, but we adore each other

Enjoy all of your time with you and Grim! I too can be a lonely wolf ... so I'm excited for you! ❤🎉
