Let the Sun Shine In
Are you telling us that people who live in Florida or Arizona or Texas (where the skies are not cloudy all day) are happier than people who live in Minnesota or Montana or Alaska? Hard to believe.
Good point, Ken. But don´t you think that northerners who migate to Florida, Texas or Arizona for the winter are happier that their neighbors who stay at home?
I live in California and I’ve two points to make:
1) We get sunshine (warmth) during several months of the year–when daylight savings time hits–people (in general–I take my own surveys)–begin to get depressed when darkness falls early. They get even MORE depressed when it is dark AND temperatures start to drop.
Point is the temperature has something to do with it. I’d rather be in Hawaii late at night, than in Minnesota (or California, for that matter), on a sunny–yet COLD day.
2) People that are depressed sometimes find solace in the darkness of night–and tend to stay up until dawn, shrouded in the peace of nonresponsibilities (banks and offices are closed).
