night definition
Hello,
How does one describe the period from 12 to 6 am in one word? When using night: this could also mean evening. When using morning this could also mean the period up to 12 pm. Thanks in advance. Timon |

Can't do it in one word
Nearest I can suggest is early hours That covers a multitude of sins |

Alternatively, my Dad said the rule in the Army was never to use (say) “00.00 on Saturday” because that can equally mean midnight Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday. The answer was always to use 23.59 or 00.01. |

Thanks all.

Re: night definition
It is "The Morning", as in "2.00am in the morning". As this is a Military sort of forum, remember that the 24hr time clock is often used which is self explanatory, usually with a date/time group and based on UTC, ie ZULU. However, it is also possible that the local time may be quoted.

Re: night definition
How can you describe the period from midnight to 6 am as twighlight.
Admittedly twighlight often occurs at some point between 00:01 and 06:00 hrs, but not always. It rarely lasts long, the rest of the time is either day or night Martin |
All times are GMT +2. The time now is 11:44. |
