What time is morning, afternoon, evening and night for you?

[Apulu_backagain]

Okay let me explain this, I'm not talking about what actually is the time when sun rises and falls and all in your area. I'm asking what time feels like morning or afternoon or evening or night to you?

For me, any time after 3.30 am is morning (it is still very dark but feels chill and calm like how a morning should)

Any time after 1 pm is afternoon (it is hot and the sun is annoying more than ever even in winters)

Any time after 4 pm is evening (the sky is colourful and it is slightly warm and cozy enough to be romantic for a sun kissed picture. It is like a golden and orange hour)

Any time after 7.45 pm is night (obviously, because it is when I start feeling a bit tired and start yawning and all)

And some special times are:-

3 pm - complete yellow hour, you get a Sun slapped picture instead of sun kissed. It just feels like the sun is feeling nauseous and it moody.

1am - actually feels like midnight, makes no sense but for a student who frequently pulls an all nighter I sometimes start tweaking and 12 am feels way too young for midnight.

5 pm - love this time and everything related to it. 5 pm beard on guys and 5 pm wind and 5 pm snack and all. I just love this time.

Now obviously this depends on the season, like 4 pm is not so pleasant during raging summers in India, but this is the standard for me.

What about you?

Any time of day can feel like any of those perceived periods of the day for me on any given day.

I've never had a set circadian rhythm, with the number of hours of my days varying significantly and randomly on a daily basis, very rarely matching the traditional 24-hour days of most people.

It then gets yanked around further by the need to conform to the standard 24-hour day when I have appointments that I must attend, making every day that comes along feel entirely different from the previous or the next.

I still struggle with it terribly even after being retired for many years.

When I was working standard day shifts before retiring, it was an absolutely dangerous nightmare.

Morning for me begins when the sun comes up. That shifts constantly in the northern hemisphere as we wobble around the sun. But basically it's the time between sunrise and noon.

Noon is noon. 12PM. It refers to a specific time according to a clock. Therefore afternoon is any time after 12PM until evening begins.

Evening also shifts with daylight as we wobble around the sun. It's the time when you're transitioning from day to night and transitioning from work hours to dinnertime and social activities.

Night is darkness. No direct sunlight. Just stars and the reflected sunlight from the moon until sunrise. Night for me is leisure time and sleep time.

For me.. Morning (is the time I am not fond of)- From 5 AM to 11:59 AM

Afternoon (Makes me feel lazy)- From 12 PM to 4:59 PM.

Evening (my favourite time of the day. It makes me feel relaxed as well as energetic at the same time. I look forward to having a cup of tea while enjoying sunset)- 5:00 PM to 8:59 PM.

Night (It's calming. I like it)- 9:00 PM to 4:59 AM.

I dont know what to use for German "Mittag" time 12.00 - 16.00 h

[Tarifa]

Morning for us will start at 7 or 7.30 a. m., depending what time we get up and have breakfast. That's the start of our work schedule.

2 p. m. (14 h) is the start of the afternoon : break for lunch and about the time my daughter finishes school.

7 p. m. (19 h) is the start of the evening. That's also when we finish work.

Night from 10 p. m. until sunrise.

[Amy_Mi]

Morning when the world feels fresh and possibilities are clear roughly 6–9 AM.

Afternoon when focus, energy, and action define the day around 12–3 PM.

Evening reflection, wind-down, and presence 6–9 PM.

Night rest, restoration, and contemplation 10 PM onward.

Time isn’t just numbers, it’s about energy, intention, and how you inhabit each moment.

If it's dark it's night.
If it's light it's day
Evening and night are largely exchangeable but I class Evening as when the first stars become visible but it's still light enough to see.
Morning is when i wake up until 12. If I'm awake at 2am its night not morning.

[Amy10223]

For me, morning is about 7:30 or 8:00, or earlier depending on whenever my cat wakes me up. Afternoon is 12:00, but that's when I eat, so really I feel 1:00 or 2:00 is afternoon. Evening is 6:00 to about 8:00, and night is after that.

I'm sun oriented. Morning starts at false dawn. It is no longer night. Afternoon is after midday at the zenith.

Evening is towards sunset and twilight. When the sun stops having warmth in it is near enough.
