While the Sun is above the horizon, you can't really talk about "night".
As you go further and further towards the North Pole (or South Pole), the longest day becomes longer, and the shortest day becomes shorter, until in extreme cases (after crossing the polar circle, at a latitude of 66.5 degrees), during part of the year the Sun won't set at all, and during another part of the year, the Sun won't rise at all.

Why does Norway have a 6 month day and 6 month night?
It does not. Only northern Norway is within the Arctic Circle and can experience more than 24 hours of continuous day or night. Only the North Pole and South Pole have 6 months of day and nearly 6 months of night. Svalbard, Norway (latitude 78.4° N) does have a greatly extended period of "midnight sun" during the summer. For 5 months from April to September, the sun circles the horizon and never sets. (see the related question)
