June 20, 2022When is it "morning" and "night" for you?
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we have two different very commonly used words for “evening” and “night”. Evening starts around 17:00, regardless of sunlight. In the winter at 17:00 it’s super dark, whereas in the summer at 17:00 there’s hours and hours until it gets dark. “Night” I’d say is 23-24 ish. I think it contributes that our schedule is different and that on a work day, the evening is your time off and we eat dinner in the beginning of the evening (for example I’ve heard from Spanish folks that they often at dinner at 23 and go to bed much later - 23 ish is where most people are headed to sleep here). “Night” is where that stops. Morning is very debated but somewhere between 4-6, some crazy people even say 3. In the summer it begins to get light again and birds start to sing at 3. More on reddit.com

My five year old daughter just asked me this and, well, idk. Initally I thought, 1am? But then 12 is MID night.
So does that mean that the 24 hours is split into chunks? Does it magically make 6am the official morning? What of saying I was up until/ working until 2/ 3/ 4 in the morning.
12pm is noon.
Anything after is afternoon.
When does night begin?
I wouldn't categorise 5pm as afternoon, I'd call that evening.
You wouldn't say, I did X at 5 in the afternoon?
But if it is chunks, 6pm is the start of night?
