文化的背景

During 'mørketid' (the polar night) in Northern Norway, being 'trøtt' is considered a collective state. People often use light therapy lamps to combat this seasonal fatigue. Norwegians value 'tidlig opp' (getting up early). Being 'morgentrøtt' (morning-tired) is a common topic of sympathy at the start of the workday. There is a positive connotation to being 'trøtt' after physical activity in nature. It is seen as a sign of a day well spent. Saying 'Jeg er trøtt' is a very polite and accepted way to leave a social gathering. It is rarely taken as a sign that the company was boring.
