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.

    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.

    I like winter but the daylight savings nonsense sucks, I don’t want it to get dark even earlier, it’s all backwards.

    I hate the concept of Daylight Savings Time. It’s such a “Baby formula: Now with even more lead!” solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

    The table is a little bit too far South, it’s kind of difficult to walk around the table because the wall is too close. So we’ll lift the roof off with a crane, suspend the table from a sophisticated set of guy wires, tear down the house around it, and then painstakingly reinstall the house 16 inches to the South so that there’s room between the wall and the table.

    Absolutely love winter. It’s my favorite time of the year. I like being inside when it’s cold and dark out. I like not sweating. Feels good man.

    Absolutely detest switching back and forth between standard and DST. What a load of crap. Just pick one and be done with it.

    Winter? Nah. Love it for many of the reasons already being stated.

    But the fake as fuck holiday season that comes with it? Done with it. I’m celebrating Festivus unironically this year. Done with the rest of that shit.

    I love winter. Cold, dark, and snowy are my jam. To be fair this may be an ingrained coping mechanism from growing up in Alaska.

      I believe I have read read somewhere depression (or suicide I am not sure) is more common in summer. Which to me seems counter intuitive until I found out the main cause for this might be loneliness. So lonely people seeing other people getting together.

      Would you say in your case depression worsens due longer nights or holiday season in December?

    Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.

      As a native, I’ve only ever known winter time. (Cause we don’t have DST for those who didn’t know.)

    I like sun as much as the next person but I feel getting more daylight by changing the clocks is like going on a diet by changing the definition of a pound. Standard Time all year for me please.
