You can enjoy the outdoors more (especially summer) if you start your day a little later. You can go running or biking in the morning when the sun is getting up (6a->8a), go to work for the direct sunlight hours (930a->630p), and then you're free to do whatever you want until the sun is down and your apartment/house is cool for sleeping.
- _delirium 13y agoI'd say people tend to start early in Denmark for the same reason. Especially in summer, if you work a 7am-3pm or 8am-4pm schedule, you finish work early enough to have a nice block of 5+ post-work sunlight hours that you can use to organize a nontrivial post-work outing with friends/family. On sunny days it's pretty common for people to try to leave work by 3pm so they can go home, change, and then head out to the beach or a picnic by 4pm, while it's still warm and you've got some hours of sunlight left. This could be influenced by the fact that it's rarely too hot in Denmark; a "very hot" day is maybe 27 C (80 F). So there's no need to avoid the hottest part of the day; quite the opposite.
