  This might have been an original thought five years ago when I first saw it posted... And yet my posts get removed by the bots for not being original........ >
  
  Fr this sub is wierd. I gave up the second time I tried posting
  Edit: like, the automod is wierd, not the sub. >
  
  This tripped us up at work before. Years back I told a manager I’d be in tonight to do some server maintenance and she said no tomorrow. I meant 3 am - in 8 hours or so. She meant no - tomorrow at 3 am - same time. We both were talking about the same time. If I haven’t gone to sleep yet it’s still tonight. >
  
  I advocate for the addition of seven new words to our language:
  Monnight, Tuesnight, Wednesnight, Thursnight, Frinight, Saturnight and Sunnight.
  These are the periods between "evening" on the earlier day and whenever you go to bed (or the sun comes up if you do an all-nighter)
  I.e. it's Thursday right now, but tonight it will become Thursnight, and remain Thursnight, even as midnight passes. Then at some point, I'll remember that sleep is probably something I should do, and I'll go to bed. Then when I wake up, it will be Friday!
  
  Oddly, Firefox's spell checker seems to think that "Saturnight" (but not the others) is already a word. Probably this. >
  
  The basis for one of the favorite jokes my great uncle ever told me... City guy moves to the farm... Farmer bangs on his door at 4 am, hears: "farmer John, you should go to bed we have a big day tomorrow" >
  
  Any time of day can be considered very late or very early.  It just depends on the context of the situation. >
  
  anytime of day can be considered very late or very early, i get up at 4am. >
  
  Personally for me 00:00-03:59 is nighttime and at 04:00 the day starts.
  I like saying, "I woke up at 4 in the morning yesterday" rather than "yesterday I woke up at 4 in the night and got ready for work"
  Technically though, it's night time I'm sure? But for me it feels like very very early morning. >
  
  True, but 5AM more so for me 😅 In November or December I had both woken up and gone to sleep and at around 4 or 5 in the morning - that was within a few days of each time too..! I prefer getting up early; I should try to get used to it again. 😊
