It was mentioned in synthetic procedure to "stir at room temperature overnight".


What does this mean? (I want the exact duration for how long should I keep stirring.)


How is it possible to carry this out during day time, due to my limitations?




If you are talking about a solution, you may use a magnetic stirrer to stir your solution overnight, preferably kept in a fume hood or well ventilated area. Depending on the volatility of your solution you might want to cover it to prevent evaporation and weight loss.
