From Sunsets To Sex: 7 Ways To Make The Most Of Long, Dark Nights

1) “Ex-Brit/current Scandinavian here, where we have ~3 hours of daylight during the winter. Lean into it.” 

“Seriously, accept it, and celebrate it.

“Winter is now your excuse to be as cosy and extra as you can possibly be. You’re going to take whatever you enjoy in the summer and winterise it. You’re going to take what you can’t do (very well) in the summer and learn to love it.

“Hot drinks. Cosy blankets. Knit jumpers. Knee-high socks. Clompy boots. Dramatic winter coats. Saunas. Jumping into frozen lakes. OK, not that last one. Hot water bottles. Socks in bed. Heavy duvet!

“Exercise outside with more layers and high-vis clothes. Running is a whole new experience if you’re wrapped up warm and breathing cold air.”

2) “Do you like sunsets and sunrises?” 

“They can be the most beautiful parts of the day, and it’s actually lovely to get them at civilised hours (in terms of being awake and out of the house).”

“This! I go outside and watch the sunset every day, it’s great. Gives you that feeling of a beautiful view on a summer’s day,” u/Minimum_Leopard_2698 agreed.
