Where I live it gets dark around 19:00 now. End of December it will be around 18:30. It still leaves me time for a bike ride or a quick hike after work.
Last year in December I was in Poland and at 17:00 it was completely dark outside. The bizarre thing was that it wasn’t just getting dark, there was no one outside. Walking outside at 18:00 felt like walking in the middle of the night. I would look out the window, decide it’s time to go to bed then look at the clock and see it’s 19:00. Pretty depressing.
Depends where you are but at 50N you will have both the winter depression and the summer craziness because you sleep 5h each day in summer. Or in winter 15h of sleepiness.
I hate it both, the summer thing you can try to get rid of by installing something in front or your window.
You cannot make winter less dark, I have not seen a light that does that.
Maybe more cold blue in the morning.
i have seen a light that makes winter less dark. i lived in this place where i had a streetlamp just outside my only window. blackout curtains did not work. i would wake up at midnight thinking it was noon and it was just that godsdamned street lamp.
so like, there are solutions they just drive you the other end of crazy

Gets dark around 16:30 in most of the usa around dec/jan. It sucks. Wake up in the dark, go to work in the dark, and get home in the dark.
Hahaha, you guys think that’s early,good one
For a lot of people if it’s dark when you leave work it doesn’t really matter if it got dark at 16:59 or 14:00.
Yea but it’s darka at 1400 here on my days off too. Also,we have many many days with no sunshine. Just likes weeks,no vitamin D.
Come to southern Spain. It’s a great place to spend winter.
That’s exactly it, you can help somewhat with artificial lights but not really.
Don’t know if anyone actually can stand this. The closer you are to the equator the better your mental health gets just because of this.
In summer you have this nice thing that you wake up at 5am, also pretty shit for your mental health. I would have to get to bed at 10 to get 7h max.
I like it. Cold weather is best and I don’t appreciate trying to sleep when it’s bright.
