It is rather unfortunate I am coming now and my answer is "the moon"

@DATo
I don't live in the southern hemisphere. My nickname tells where I live.
Winter was a good guess, but no. Think short-term.

@Alphonsius
Welcome. The moon, nop. But it was also a good guess.

Yes, I assumed you might live in Portugal which would invalidate my response, but I thought I would try anyway.

I am a little confused by the first clue - Some still don't want anything with me.. Does this mean that some do not want anything TO DO with you, or does it mean some do not want anything to accompany "you" (the object of the clue)?

Example:

1) I do not want green peppers.
2) I do not want anything WITH green peppers.

@DATo

"Some still don't want me".
The ambiguity in the first clue can be a clue itself. I really needed to embrace the "object".
Another hint: check the time and do the math.

Welcome, @Alphonsius!

Is it "oldness," @tjportugal?

Same as for DATo: think short term.

Would it be DAWN or DUSK?

Or a book?

@InStoree @DATo @Alphonsius @Alyssa

Some still don't want me.

And the answer is... a good-night's sleep or any synonym.

Hints:
- to the answer oldness I replied think short term
- check the time and do the math; when I posted the riddle it was 11:27pm in my country;
Maybe it was too generic...

Anyway, @Alphonsius' answer was moon and @DATo's was [/i]Dawn or Dusk[/i]; these were the closest answers, so it's up to one of you to do the next riddle.
