I hate the dark

I'm talking of course of the winter dark, not the starry starry night variety. I know people will say that I have nothing to whinge about and that there are people in the world who have to put up with much worse, but I hate getting out of bed in the dark.
I left Scotland forty five years ago because I hated getting up in the dark and here I am, all these years later, still having to get up in the dark.
I don't want to wish my life away but I can't wait for retirement when I can just stay in bed till the sun comes up.
It's just not natural.
