Well, except for the slight problem that it's not really night or day for
six months at a time, yes. Maybe that's why the otherwise weak Trans-Polar
Aleut Nation has kept the Soviets at bay for so long...

Now, the really interesting question would be what happens if you're
travelling fast enough to keep up with the sun, and so gaining perpetual
night/day? Would it vanish when it was sunrise/set where it was originally
summoned, or would the spirit stick around?
