I much prefer light, heat and warmth to the cold and dark. The first working day after the clocks go back, is, for me, in northern Europe, one of my very least favourite days of the entire year. It is a day when my heart, almost literally, sinks deep into my proverbial boots. Not only does it begin to get dark between four and five o'clock in the evening, but you know that there are eight long weeks to the winter solstice, and then a further eight weeks before the time of sunset/sunrise is even back to where it is on this profoundly depressing day.
Cheers
