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.

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
I LOOOOOOOOOVE winter time. It’s snowboard and snowmobile season baby!
If I’m not mistaken, I think OP meant switch from daylight saving time.
Ah…yeah, funk that. DST is dumb.
DST is what most people prefer. It’s the switch back to standard time that’s dumb.
“Great, we could sleep one hour more” can you explain this? I have no idea how the season determines how many hours of sleep everyone gets in a day,
When we switch to DST, we "Fall Back. ". We set the clocks one hour back, at 2:00am Sunday, so basically we get an extra hour of sleep just on that night. Then we lose one when we set the clocks forward in the spring.
To be fair, I don’t think that extra hour, once in the Fall, is used as a reason for Daylight Savings in any debates.
Oh, I wasn’t even thinking about places that changed time; I thought it was something just related to winter itself, hence the confusion. Thanks!
No, DST is springing forward. Winter time is the notmal time.
Winter has his charms as well.
I don’t mind the winter if its cool & dry, not so much when its windy & raining…
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.
Hate is a strong word, but yes I prefer the longer days of summer, and like doing summer things, and yes going to work in the dark sucks, but coming home from work in the dark is even worse, so dispiriting.
It’s not even cold here, and summer too hot for most but summer is still my favorite, winter least favorite.
It’s like: would you prefer going to work/school in the dark and coming gome during the day or would you like to spend all the daylight at work/school
I like the hours being dialed back. Whenever they’re dialed forward, it feels like time moves even faster than when it did beforehand. I didn’t like that feeling. Feels like everything is just being rushed and rushed.
I kinda like it. I guess it helps that in my part of the world it’s absolutely blazing hot in summer. I love that, but with the intense onslaught of sun over that period, by the time winter rolls back around it’s kind of a welcome change. I also just look way better in winter clothes so it’s nice to feel better about my appearance for that portion of the year. I also find that it’s way easier to warm yourself up when it’s cold than to cool down when it’s hot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big wuss so all summer I’ll whine and moan about it being soo hot and then immediately complain about being freezing in winter, but on balance I think I find the discomfort of my region’s winter a bit easier to deal with than its summer. I also like not being completely covered in a layer of sweat as well. I don’t especially care a whole lot about when the daylight hours appear, I’m as happy being out and about at night as I am in the day and appreciate either for different reasons so if more of my waking hours are taking place in darker periods of the day then I’m just appreciating those for what they are just as I also appreciate all the bright and sunny hours. I would say that as someone who has trouble sleeping when it’s too bright I definitely prefer it when the sun comes up later and doesn’t wake me up. It probably helps that I’m hardly an outdoors-man so it’s not like much if any of the things I’d actually do across a year are really curtailed by the mandates of the season, though I guess I do miss the beach. Besides, like a lot of people, I work indoors so a good chunk of any given day is taken up by a minimum 8 hours of work usually starting at 09 so when the weather is absolutely beautiful and sunny and clear I’ll see it for about 20 minutes out the car window before going in to a building with the blinds drawn and the air-conditioning on until I emerge at what is then evening hours.
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.
Have you tried using AC or drinking more water? Some anti-allergy meds would help too. At least it’s not so cold during the summer that you don’t want to do anything.
All of the above. It doesn’t help enough to make it in any way comparable to winter.
AC is shit and can’t handle much above 80 (most of June through october), I rent.
That sucks I’m sorry. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Maybe we can swap countries haha I’d love to live somewhere with AC and summer year round and not 99% humidity and an average temperature of 10c
I prefer winter over any other season
Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it’ll never snow enough
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!
The point when it gets dark at 4pm in December is the worst.
18?
Damn southerners.
