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.

    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.

    No, I hate DST. Getting up an hour earlier sucks. I also prefer the darker season in general because I feel like I sleep better.

    The only thing I hate about Winter is not Winter’s fault, and it’s basically what you said:

    Work is somehow perfectly scheduled so that you’re inside, staring at a brick wall for 90-100% of the daylight hours for 5 out of every 7 days.

    Winter is beautiful in ways that are completely unlike the other seasons, but unless you’re very fortunate you only get a few glimpses of it.

    I feel like if you were designing a society to make people suffer, that’s how you would do it.

      It’s a rudiment of a society where artificial light was a scarcity, so people worked during the daylight.

      But also these days you can easily get a job with a flexible schedule and spend your mornings enjoying the sun, and then work till the late evening.

    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
