My name is Carri. I'm a screenwriter in Los Angeles, California doing research for a TV program on the sleeping habits of children all over the world, ages 6 to 12. I'd like to include children from Finland. I'm wondering if you could help me. I'm specifically look-ing for where children sleep (In the same bedroom with other siblings? What do their rooms look like? What are their bedtime rituals? Do they sleep with extra blankets in the summer because it’s still chilly up there?

Please email me at ckaruhn@msn.com.
thank you.

Hence i have done exactly that, and found a place for me. Now having lived in Helsinki for close to 18 years i consider it "home". But as i walk these streets i realise i am no...

Most people seem to take pictures only at their holidays, and at birthdays and when someone marries. That makes for an odd archive of your life, doesn't it? Likewise most news, and a huge portion of blogs focuses on accidents and large disasters. No, i don't think we should pretend there aren't problems, but this hung-uppedness of the tragedy of life makes for a very odd archive of our lives, doesn't it?
