it's dark and wet

When that alarm goes off in the morning, I don't want to get up. It's warm underneath the flannel sheets, two down blankets, fleece blanket and my comforter whereas my face feels the icy cool air of my bedroom. Besides, it's dark. Who has motivation to get up when it's dark?

By the time I get home from work, it is also dark. It starts to get dark around 4:30 now with it fully dark by 5:15/5:30.

And when it's raining plus darkness...there's no hope.

I'm officially in Alaska. Time to get used to the dark and wet outdoors.

My solution is to some day rig up a full spectrum light to a timer to go off every morning to help wake me. Let's hope it works.
