Not me. Winter time is the best time of the year in AZ.
No light is not natural for humans... I feel like I'm missing out on life for four-five months every year. November to March is awful.
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.
Nope. I love Autumn and Winter the most! ๐โ๏ธI actually can't stand warm/hot weather ๐ญ
At 18? I wish. Getting dark at 16-17 here now.
It will get dark at 15:30 for us in the winter assuming therebis any light at all with the continual rain cloud cover we have for West Coast winters
I LOOOOOOOOOVE winter time. It's snowboard and snowmobile season baby!
Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.
I dont care what outside is like. It's always dark in the basement.
Honestly I don't really like winter because that's when my seasonal depression starts coming in full effect
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.
Yep! It's cold, damp, and dark and it goes on too long. Having to shovel snow is also awful. 0/10, do not recommend. I much prefer spring and summer.
Winter time, not wintertime.
Haha, missed that. Yes, I hate that too.
It's just the transition I don't like!
I prefer winter over any other season
Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.
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
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.
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.
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. ๐๐
I wonder how much energy it would take to adjust earth's tilt ๐ค nothing could possibly go wrong with that, right?
Oh oh oh!
Don't even think about that! P-l-e-a-s-e! I'm kinda used to autumn now! ๐๐
Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it'll never snow enough
I sort of feel like I'm walking in a tunnel that gets smaller and smaller as I walk.
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 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.
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.
Yeah but summer time is better
Lol you people where it only gets dark at 1800 after DST ends
I don't mind the winter if its cool & dry, not so much when its windy & raining..
Nah, gimme the dark mode time. Year round.
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
Fair points, yeah.
