What do you do to cheer yourself up when the daylight grows shorter and the nights longer? The darkness and often gray days make me feel uninterested in doing anything. How do you cope with that? Does it bother you? What do you do during that long dark time?

You mean a box of donuts won't do it?

We don't experience it in Australia - at least not to any great extent. I guess I'd use the time to work on various hobbies.

I don't mind the dark or gray days, I actually thrive better. =)

Do you have some tips about how you do that?

I struggle with these shorter days too. I leave for work just when it is getting light and by the time I get home it is already dark. All the time I am at work the sun is shining. I try to get outside for at 20 mins everyday to enjoy some sunlight.

At least the days slowly start getting longer after Christmas. There is that to look forward to. I hate it getting dark at 4:30 pm since the time change in America.

@akalinus it is the same way here. I get home at 5pm and it is already dark.

@Happy2BeMe I bet it is dark when you get up, too.
