When Does Late Night Become Early Morn?

Listener Greg Johnson asked a question that I’ve been pondering ever since, and his question is when does late at night change to early in the morning? He says certainly not at midnight.

A friend of mine maintains it happens just after 2:30 a.m. That 2:30 is still nighttime, but a quarter to three is morning for sure.

And Grant, I just keep thinking about that because, I don’t know, I’m going to bed earlier and earlier.

Yeah, it’s true. Some people might look at demarcating dawn and dusk by where the sun is above or below the horizon.

But at night, we don’t have that sun.

So perhaps the moon is a way to tell where is the moon and what is it doing?

And I also wonder to what extent other languages maybe divide up the night differently.

To me, like 11 o’clock is getting late at night anymore.

Right, right.

And that’s a function of where you are in your life, right?

Yeah, and early in the morning to me is probably 3 or 4 because I’ve been getting up at around 5-ish.

So I don’t know.

I would really love to hear what our listeners have to say about that.

Yeah, we’d love to say, when does late at night become early in the morning for you?

Do you have to sleep between the two?
