When the newspaper arrives, it's morning, and most of them start delivering at 4 am, some at 2 am.
hmmk... Here it's 6-7 am.

I think it is morning about 6 milleseconds before 12:00 AM . Seeing as the day is not exactly 24 hours long. It ends/begins either around 6 ms before or after 12.

If you really mean that the morning and tomorrow starting at 00:00 you'll have the interesting consequence that any tv program starting at 00:10 or so would have to be addressed as "tomorrow", not "today", which I doubt most people feel comfortable with. But then, maybe you don't watch late TV much.

Ironically enough, I have always considered the next day to start at 5 am (the choice missing from the poll!), because lots of local channels start their show line-up for the next day at 5 am here.

hmm, perhaps I'm the same way since most of my tv is based in a timezone that's at +1 hours from me :)

It seems odd to base your life on TV, though..

I don't, I just happen to like early morning TV.

An interesting thought just hit me... It would be interesting to correlate the replies of "When my clock says so (12:00am/0:00h)" and "After I sleep, whenever that is" with the answer to the question: "Are you typically in bed by or near 12:00am/0:00h"

Well, you're weird anyway, calling middle of the night morning... If the morning starts at 00:00, then when is it night? Shouldn't you be going to sleep in the evenings, sleep all night and get up in the morning?

What is this sleep you speak of?

iago

right now, it's 1:03am tuesday morning.  However, I didn't sleep all sunday night, Adron could confirm that since I spent a good part of my night talking to him, and I got that sleep after school on monday, when I went to sleep around 4:30pm, and woke up about an hour ago.  So that would make this monday morining?  And when I go to sleep on tuesday evening and wake up, that would make your wednesday my tuesday?

Next time you and some friends have some free time, do a self-regulated sleep deprivation study.  Inform each other that the first person that goes to sleep will be mercilessly abused.  Ingest lots of coffee, caffinee, or other -- preferably legal(don't try this if you have a cokehead for a friend because he's not going to sleep.) -- stimulants, and see how many days you can go.  Towards the end things can get pretty weird, plus it's a lot of fun messing with the first person to give up.

It would be more fun without coffee/stimulants.  I never drink Coffee, and I'm regularely awake for 24 hours straight, so that would give me a natural advantage :)

No, following my system's rules, "tomorrow" started at the point when we were talking and you decided that you wouldn't get any sleep that night.
