Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it’s getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it’s just still dark and by the end of November it’ll be pitch black anyway.

    You only get winter because you also have the other three. (We only have autumn here in the UK though).

    You could always find a planet without a tilted axis. 😁😁

    I hate summer and daylight saving more.

    If you’re too cold, you can always do something. If you’re too hot, you can only do so much then be miserable.

    I am of the opposite opinion, I LOVE winter for the exact reasons you’re describing!

    I have some inherited photosensitivity, so nighttime’s my favourite time! I also handle the cold waaay better than I handle heat, and my organism just feels like it starts coming back to life once autumn shows up!

    Summer pretty much always makes me wish I could sleep my way through it.

    Does anyone else lowkey love the short bout of darkness before the sun rises and you’re up early? It feels like Christmas but nobody else is up

    I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark. It’s harder to fit in a lil fishing after work and I can’t wear shorts and crop tops outside on the deck.

    Winter stinks!

    I like wintertime, it is comfortable sleeping in low temps. Great for my astma as well.

    I also like the dense sound taking a walk when it snows, and appreciate returning to a warm home after. Then it is time for green pea soup or stamppot and rookworst.

    They should get rid of changing clocks though

    I actually like it mostly, but fall and late summer are my favorite seasons.

    It sounds like you may have seasonal depression, lots of folks do, including one of my siblings. Have you checked out the special lamps they have? They mimic the suns light, Idk about the research, but I know a lot of people who’ve said they help.

      It’s not just the season, but the idea of having to change all the clocks and do our life on hour earlier/later/whatever, so now when we leave work it’s night, and when we make-up it’s dark, but there is enough light to commute to work.

      The Whole daylight saving time is stupid, especially when switching to winter time

    I like the winter. I moved to where I live now specifically so I could experience seasons (Southern California has one season all the time)

    Also, your post reminded me of this Smashing Pumpkins song.

    We only come out at night

    No, literally zero other people hate wintertime.

    Some people.love taking things literally despite obvious context though.

    Winter time is standard time with the sun at the highest being noon. If we all want more sun in the evening then we should shave an hour off the workday and stop whining that the sun comes up earlier in the summer.
