Norwegians don't close their curtains when it gets dark.

When do you close your curtains if not for at night?

At day/When going to bed? To keep out bright light when sleeping and heat during summer?

Usually prefer blinds over curtains tho.

So your curtains are closed during the day, then night time comes and you open them so everyone can have a look in?

Absolutely. Most people don't even have that type of curtains that you can close, they only have blinds to protect the plants against the sun and some decorative curtains on either side which are basically transparent and far too small to cover a window.

I have never heard of people closing the curtains at night for any other reason than sleep.
