As an activity sort of thing I think I'd find it interesting, at least for a few days. But living in such conditions, year after year - that's a nope from me.
I grew up in Sweden where we get shorter days during winter and longer during summer, but most people go to work before the sun rises, and doesn't come home until after it sets anyway most of the year, so it never felt weird to me. I didn't even consider it to be a problem until a Japanese exchange student I was friends with started having sleep issues.
I had severe seasonal depression when I lived on the northeast coast of America, I can't even imagine how severe that would get somewhere like Sweden.
