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 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 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.
Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it’ll never snow enough
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.
I don’t mind the winter if its cool & dry, not so much when its windy & raining…
“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.
The point when it gets dark at 4pm in December is the worst.
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.
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 detest the cold. I’m skinny enough that I have to wear long underwear basically constantly as it gets colder. The one potential upside to the environmental hellscape we’re creating for ourselves is that I may be able to stop doing that. Otherwise, winter is just annoying as hell, it’s such a stupid ass season.
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.
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!
I dont care what outside is like. It’s always dark in the basement.
Winter has his charms as well.
