Dumb question, but do you still go on walks when it gets dark around 4pm?

peanut gallery from the states. I have a dog so yes. I have a staff I take with me at night. Much like biking I thought it was a winter weather thing but over time I realize its more about it being dark. Its amazing how little bumps in sufaces can be easily tripped when its dark and then we have coyotes near where I am at.
