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.

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.

I hate the concept of Daylight Savings Time. It's such a "Baby formula: Now with even more lead!" solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

The table is a little bit too far South, it's kind of difficult to walk around the table because the wall is too close. So we'll lift the roof off with a crane, suspend the table from a sophisticated set of guy wires, tear down the house around it, and then painstakingly reinstall the house 16 inches to the South so that there's room between the wall and the table.

Absolutely love winter. It's my favorite time of the year. I like being inside when it's cold and dark out. I like not sweating. Feels good man.

Absolutely detest switching back and forth between standard and DST. What a load of crap. Just pick one and be done with it.

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!

I like winter but the daylight savings nonsense sucks, I don't want it to get dark even earlier, it's all backwards.

Yes. Not me, but yes.

The best day of the year is the first day of daylight saving time (end of March). There is no day I look forward to more every year, not my birthday, not Christmas, not Easter, not a day I go on vacation: the first day of daylight saving time beats all of these.

18?

Damn southerners.

I LOOOOOOOOOVE winter time. It's snowboard and snowmobile season baby!

Honestly I don't really like winter because that's when my seasonal depression starts coming in full effect

The point when it gets dark at 4pm in December is the worst.

I like sun as much as the next person but I feel getting more daylight by changing the clocks is like going on a diet by changing the definition of a pound. Standard Time all year for me please.

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.

Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.

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.

The best part about winter is staying inside, Christmas, Christmas baking, and New Year's/New Year's Eve. Otherwise it's miserable for me because I really dislike the cold.

It doesn't help that last winter my area was getting below zero (F°) weather, which I can never recall having to deal with much before. Calling that miserable is an understatement.

The only other good thing about winter I can think of is getting a god damn peppermint patty (hot chocolate w/ peppermint schnapps). Otherwise, absolutely no other reasons for me to like it.

No light is not natural for humans... I feel like I'm missing out on life for four-five months every year. November to March is awful.

I work 3rd shift, the darkness doesn't bother me. I hate it when it's daylight when I go to work and daylight when I come home.

When DST flips, I get an extra hour of work and my sleep schedule goes to shit for a week.

I wish we could hibernate, honestly

definitely hate DST, but mostly because of the annual death toll it entails, and the fact that it makes no fucking sense.

At 18? I wish. Getting dark at 16-17 here now.

I prefer winter over any other season

Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.

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.

"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,

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.

Nope. I love Autumn and Winter the most! 🍁❄️I actually can't stand warm/hot weather 😭

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. 😁😁

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.

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 sort of feel like I'm walking in a tunnel that gets smaller and smaller as I walk.

Not me. Winter time is the best time of the year in AZ.
