That special time between 5 and 7 pm is called Happy Hour for a reason. ---

After everyone has gone asleep, and I get quality dope time. ---

Early morning, 5 am to 7 am. Twilight, around 7pm to 8pm. Those are the times when I feel most alone which is one of my best feelings. ---

Looks like I’m the lone vote for mid-morning, so far. Between 8:30-11 is when I’m most alert and productive. I like to be outside in the morning, if I’m not at work, and the earlier end of that range is usually quiet and peaceful. ---

Either early morning when the dawn chorus starts but only if I’ve had a good night’s sleep before that, or around 8 pm on a day off/weekend, when chores are mostly done and I can settle down for the evening. ---

I am not a morning person. My favorite time of day is probably between 8 and 10pm. Everything is usually done for the day and hopefully, I’m chillin’. ---

Another morning person here. When my kids were small I had no time to do anything for myself, with work all day and then my wife needing relief when I got home. I found carving-out time for myself before work allowed me to go for a morning bike ride, or run, just as the sun was coming up. I guess there are lots of people who never see the sun rise. I like that time of day because everything is fresh from the overnight rest, and even if I start-out in the dark, I know it will only get lighter outside. ---

Later afternoon through the gloaming. The sun has set behind the western ridge of hills, but there’s still plenty of light. ---

Early to mid-afternoon. That’s when I get off work. ---

After the kids go to the sleep and the house is quiet and dark. I can read and hang out with the dogs and cats, and it’s like I’m in this little island of light and peace. Ideally I like 10pm-2 or 3 in the morning, but I try to make myself go to the sleep by 10 on weeknights, since I am the alarm clock for the family and get up fairly early. Grrr. ---

From about 4:30 to 6am for me. Super quiet… maybe just some coyotes in the distance with the air still and cool. Even better if we got a light rain as it enhances the smell of the sagebrush. A cup of tea - just me and the desert. ---

Twilight and evening bell. And after that the dark. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-time-of-day-and-why/783155.md?page=1)
