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.

If I’m not mistaken, I think OP meant switch from daylight saving time.

DST is what most people prefer. It’s the switch back to standard time that’s dumb.

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.

But you know that DST is summer time? In winter, we have „normal“ time, as in the sun is at it’s highest at 12 o’clock.

Huh, I completely forgot about that, we should keep it for the entire year then.

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 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.
