Here’s the secret: mark your calendar for January 20, 2026. That’s roughly when the light “breaks through” for most people. It’s not blinding, but it’s real.
After that, it’s a sprint to spring. The mornings get lighter by about two to three minutes per day. So, grab another coffee, hang in there, and know that the sun is secretly working overtime for you. It’s just a little shy in January. Give it time.
