What do you think about the darkness during the Winter Time? Does it depress you?

Nope. I'm used to that it's dark during winter, so it's nothing new to me. And there's nothing depressing about darkness in my opinion.

Yes, I hate when it gets dark so early. I never liked the short days. When it gets dark early I'm less likely to go out again once I get home from whatever I've been doing that day. I'll probably have to look into a natural light for the future winters.

I never experienced it, but I'm sure it's not that depressing.think on the bright side of things: at least you get almost 20hrs of sunlight in summer!

Darkness should influate on the mood, because it is controlled by neurohumoral system But I think Finns compensating that allways being active and having sport

It may seem strange, but I enjoy darkness. I feel safe and secure during winter life, I feel like I can be myself without restrictment.... I don't know, but I do really enjoy when here the days become more darkner and the twilight comes earlier.

And... Well, the type of dark light that usually shows on winter gives you that strange feeling of melancholy that's... Well, I love it. And, maybe it's only me, but the way the environment and the things look like when winter light make them look more beautiful to me.



P.S. Sorry for my bad english
