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.

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.

And because most people have to drive in winter, if you live in a snowy place in north America, winter means slick roads, and snow shoveling.

I just want to pick one and stick with it. Like, holy fuck, the switching is awful.

Average winter enjoyer here, just chiming in to say “fuck summer!” We may be few in number, but we are large in spirit.
