I know it's a perception thing, but...

...how come sunset takes forever to get dark, but sunrise is like FOOSH!! and it's light?

[DarkTirade]

1. Because I don't wanna (*&%ing wake up in the morning.

That's why. The sun's just tryin' to piss me off.

[kedrys]

4. I have insomnia

so I've been getting up at o'dark thirty for months. As the days get longer and it gets lighter earlier, I've noticed the whole sun thing. It's weird.

9. I worked the night shift for three years

While I was living in Florida.
And I had a window that faced the sunrise.

If I had the ability to kill the sun, I probably would have. Life on earth be damned, I needed to (*&%ing sleep.

2. The answer is somewhere here:

Sorry, but I am too tired to dig for it at the moment.

6. I'll read it when

my eyes track a little bit better. :D :hi:

8. Are you comparing twilight from the same seasons?

Because the closer to either equinox, the shorter the twilight, either morning or evening.

13. I'm not

and I evidently need to brush up on my orbital mechanics. :P

[Laylagrande]

3. I don't see it that way

sorry.

[kedrys]

7. Fair enough

Perception *is* subjective, after all.

[pokerfan]

5. I don't know about that

Just last summer, I was sleeping outside at a local lake. Once it got light it seemed like it took forever for the sun to come up.



Maybe it's because we're usually up for sunsets, less so for sunrises.

10. Insh'Allah. nt

11. "I love the nightlife. I got to boogie."

^That should be my mantra. Seriously, daytime comes around all sooo fast while night time takes forever to get here. I know the feeling. It DOES feel the same to me too.

12. the sun has rays that reach out, but the dark does not

:shrug:

[pokerfan]

14. Do we really "know" that the sun actually emits light?

Maybe it just sucks up all the dark.

This is what keeps me awake at night.
