I've lived in Norway (40 km south of Oslo for the last 32 years, generally with only light curtains. Not noticed any tendency to depression or difficulty sleeping in myself or my family. Mind you, most hotels here that expect foreign guests have blackout blinds or at least very heavy curtains,

My first Summer in Finland, I was renting an apartment with crappy curtains. I was dead tired through May, until I broke down and duct-taped large trash bags to the windows. The difference in sleep quality was nothing short of amazing. I have blackout curtains nowadays, and I've also gotten used to the light somewhat, but I still miss proper rolling curtains that completely shut the light out.
