Yes. Not me, but yes.
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.
You ditch fake holidays and... replace them with another one?
Right? Lmfao.
18? I wish. Getting dark at 16-17 here now.
Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.
Nah, gimme the dark mode time. Year round.
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.
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.
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?
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 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.
Get up in the dark, go to work, get out in the dark... ๐๐ญ๐
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
I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark. It's harder to fit in a lil fishing after work and I can't wear shorts and crop tops outside on the deck.
Winter stinks!
The difference between DST and ST isn't going to help that. The daylight is shorter regardless.
I prefer winter over any other season
The point when it gets dark at 4pm in December is the worst.
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.
Honestly I don't really like winter because that's when my seasonal depression starts coming in full effect
I sort of feel like I'm walking in a tunnel that gets smaller and smaller as I walk.
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.
Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.
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 don't mind the winter if its cool & dry, not so much when its windy & raining..
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.
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.
