But don't like getting up in the dark worse.

Yes I find getting up in darkness much more annoying.
Getting up in the dark evokes feelings from when I was a kid and it was snowing in the morning as we got up. The radio went on immediately and we listened hoping to hear that schools had been closed! It was dark on those snowy mornings and bed was comfortable and warm. The thought of having to bundle up and trudge through the snow to the bus stop 4 blocks away made me cringe and the thought of it still brings the same feeling from eons ago....
I remember visiting friends in Maryland one summer. We headed into DC about 6 one early evening and it was still very light at 9:30. That was an interesting experience for me!
