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.

Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it'll never snow enough

Honestly I don't really like winter because that's when my seasonal depression starts coming in full effect

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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?

In my case, it's cause it's too hot to do anything and I can't fuckin' breath with all the plantmatter in the air. Non-winter seasons suck.

The point when it gets dark at 4pm in December is the worst.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

I prefer winter over any other season

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

My 2,5yo has been refusing to sleep earlier than 21:00 on the dot for months now so I'm hoping winter time will finally get us back to a somewhat sane schedule. So far it's working, she just fell asleep at 19:30.

Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.

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. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Dark at 18. Its the dark at 16 that really gets me. and it is the dark to. I thought it was the cold. in particular I bike less in the winter and I thought I was a wus but I actually find im fine biking in the afternoon. Its really the problem of I don't like to bike in the dark.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Lol you people where it only gets dark at 1800 after DST ends

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

I sort of feel like I'm walking in a tunnel that gets smaller and smaller as I walk.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

I don't mind the winter if its cool & dry, not so much when its windy & raining..

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 19 hours ago

Nah, gimme the dark mode time. Year round.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Fair points, yeah.
