The Nightfly (Until The Sun Comes Through The Skylight)

In the summer months, my propensity to sleep a lot doesn't pose much of a problem. In those months I have a maximum of 18 hours in which to sample direct sunlight.

Now we're back in the near-perpetual dark and grey skied months of winter. Last weekend, between 1615 on Friday and 1200 on Monday, I experienced no sunlight (direct or indirect). I can't say any psychological or physical disturbances manifested themselves as a result of the lack of natural light. The constant memory of watching sunrise does pop into my head frequently, and my speaking of the summer Sun as if it was a friend may or may not cast doubt on my claim to a sound mind.

If it wasn't for the deplorable weather, I'd be watching our other major celestial body rise.
