Rising from bed
Contexto cultural
The 'A-culture' is dominant. Getting up early is seen as a sign of being a reliable citizen. Many Norwegians go for a 'morgendukkert' (morning swim) in the ocean, even in winter, immediately after standing up. Meetings in Norway often start exactly on time, sometimes as early as 7:30 AM. If you 'står opp' late, you are considered unprofessional. Traditionally, rising was dictated by the reindeer's needs and the light. In the polar night, 'å stå opp' doesn't involve the sun at all. Despite the early-rising culture, Norwegian students are known for 'å sove bort dagen' (sleeping the day away) on weekends, standing up only for 'fyllesyke' (hangover) pizza.
