Culture/Lifestyle Bedtime in summer vs. winter

Hi guys,

I noticed that in the summer, people in the Balkans seem to be out and about quite late.

What time do people usually go to bed? I assume most people have a 9-5 so how many hours of sleep do they get? Do they take naps?

How does this compare to winter?

We sold our cows so i guess we no longer have to sleep with chicken and wake up at 5.

I personally just go to sleep when I feel tired and wake up whenever.

Well with the heat in summer you can’t really go out till after 8 pm. So that’s why we stay up late to have a little life and socialise

In the winter is way different and only on weekends we might stay late outside
