Default Day time vs Night time

Hi all

Does anyone have this feeling that in certain days of the year that
NIGHT time feels longer than DAY time. For me it is like I fall
asleep and wake up in the middle of night to find that the night is
still young. Does it have something to do with equinox or some other
earth-sun phenomenon? Thanks for any explainations.


Changes are quickest at the equinoxes as can be seen in greater shift in
declination per day he
