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’m an uber driver. I get to be outside in the daylight all day. Work whatever hours I want. It’s nice.
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.
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.
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.
“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!
Not me. Winter time is the best time of the year in AZ.
As a native, I’ve only ever known winter time. (Cause we don’t have DST for those who didn’t know.)
Average winter enjoyer here, just chiming in to say “fuck summer!” We may be few in number, but we are large in spirit.
I just want to pick one and stick with it. Like, holy fuck, the switching is awful.
Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it’ll never snow enough
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.
Yes. Not me, but yes.
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.
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 dont care what outside is like. It’s always dark in the basement.
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.
