    Why would people be eating dinner in the morning?

    (the map should use 24 hour time and I’m really annoyed that it doesn’t)

    This partly explains why everything in Helsinki is closed so early. I was a hungry American tourist, left with very few options close by my hotel. It was only a problem the first evening.

      Finns also eat their main meal at lunchtime. And by lunchtime, I mean 11am. I worked at a lunch restaurant and had people having a huge meal (salad, bread vegetables, potatoes, two schnitzels, soup and dessert) at 10:30. Sometimes earlier if we were ready.

        As a Finn I’ve never been able to do that, but when in the army or working, kinda have to for fuel (depending on what job I was doing office jobs don’t really need energy like that).

        Always felt incredibly nauseous afterwards.

        When I get to be on my own schedule, I eat at around 19-21 (but also go to bed really late)

            No, I’m not “the average” (because I’m one person), and I don’t think it’s particularly good for me. In fact, it’s caused quite a lot of issues.

      Evening workouts always mess with my sleep. Against all odds I’ve been able to start working out in the morning and it’s helped a whole lot

      They don’t own clocks and just sort of do things when they get to it. Lots of eating small amounts while drinking in the afternoon. The pigs are usually ready to be dug up later in the evening anyways, so dinner just happens late.
