I used to scare myself into waking up at like 3am because I'd dream that I'd overslept because I was so worried about being late

Yeah that winter darkness sucks. So does midsummer brightness if you're trying to sleep in though, imo. As to the rain - it's that thing about (sub)tropical zones - in summer it's usually just gray and rainy here. When I move in a coupla weeks I'll be in one of the sunniest parts of the country though.
