If you should be lucky enough to live where the skies are dark, you might find it hard to stay awake when it gets dark out. I lived in a rural area for a while with really dark skies, and much of the time, I was just too tired to get the scope out. I have to fight the notion that fighting light pollution is as much of a lost cause as is saving wildlife in the face of an ever-growing human population. Perhaps, women's health issues are the best way to take back the night.
