A bit of light makes me feel better.
Totally this. I'm starting to feel better, it's like coming out of a hibernation. I used to prefer winter, but now I dread it - for the darkness.
It will still be a while before sunset is after 5pm.
I quite enjoy the uk's long twilight period after the sun sets. And the fact come summer time the sun will set after 9pm and 10pm before slowly becoming pitch black rather than setting just after 8pm and then pitch darkness minutes later as happens In the tropics.
Who knew?
Its awful,some days when its really dreary outside it was dark at 3pm here
It actually made me feel depressed.
And clock goes forward in March!
Round here they are. The thread title should have referred to daylight:)
"Grand stretch in the evenings"
Must be a Commie plot.
In the depths of this winter I had some trouble with sleeping, which meant that there would be times when I wouldn't see daylight for a few days - that was depressing.
It's a slow process at first, then as the weeks go on, it starts to accelerate rapidly. We'll really notice the difference by the end of February.
The sunrises have only started getting earlier this week, whereas sunsets have been slowly getting later and are now in the 12-15-minutes change a week pattern.
