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.

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.
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 just want to pick one and stick with it. Like, holy fuck, the switching is awful.
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.
Average winter enjoyer here, just chiming in to say “fuck summer!” We may be few in number, but we are large in spirit.
Get up in the dark, go to work, get out in the dark… 💀😭💀
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 like winter but the daylight savings nonsense sucks, I don’t want it to get dark even earlier, it’s all backwards.
I’m aware of all the dissatisfaction with DST, but hear me out… What if we just weren’t going hard enough? I propose Runners Savings Time. We set the clock forward like, 4-5 hrs. It’ll be dark during working hours, but then you’ll have some time to go for a run or do whatever during the daylight.
Yes. Not me, but yes.
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.
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.
The point when it gets dark at 4pm in December is the worst.
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?
You’re somehow puzzled by this?
I think the confusion is that you seem not to like what is presumably Christmas because you perceive it to be fake but Festivus, is literally, actually, fake since it comes from a plot of a TV series from the 90s and has only been celebrated by a broader range of people since as a fun tribute to that series. You could argue that the fact that people really celebrate it means it necessarily can’t be fake, but then by that logic…
Right? Lmfao.
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.
Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.
