The long dark nights are depressing, aren't they, but my neighbour and I aren't keen on the light nights either at times, as we live in ground floor flats and have had a few problems with a neighbour's kids in the summer months. Nothing major, but they aren't out in the winter all that often and that fact has often been seen as a welcome break by both of us. Kids will be kids though, and the mum does try and stop them so no complaints. There's a silver lining in every cloud and a cloud in every silver lining isn't there? It could be a lot worse. I'm sorry you're the one who loses the hour though, but as has been said you gain it in the autumn.
