I'm trying to find the darkest corner of the earth to chill in so I can actually get some work done. I can't get anything done when the sun is out and people are out and about. Maybe I'll move to that Italian village that has the giant sun mirror thing.

I personally like extremes. My ideal scenario would be a dark room where I can get work done, and then every hour or so, I take a five-minute break outdoors in direct sunlight.

  I spend most of the day in a fairly dark room, but make sure to get at least 20 minutes of sunlight on my bare skin and eyes every other day -- but it's not because I like extremes: it is because sunlight is good for me, but LED light bulbs are bad for me or at least they are if they are of typical brightness and they are on most of the day.

  I was under the impression that Seattle was ultra sunny.

    July - September, yes, we have oppressive sunshine. Spring/fall tend to be cloudy & rainy, and November to February-ish is referred to as "the big dark" - the days are short and the sun is low and obscured by clouds when it's above the horizon. Sounds like you'd get a lot done then (as do many people here).

  Ah that's the one I was thinking of. I'm seriously considering it.
