A day is organized into recurring, ordered periods—morning, afternoon, evening, and night—whose meanings are connected to the relative position of events within the daily cycle.

To identify the part of the day, think about what usually happens before or after the event. You do not need to know the exact time.

Step 3: Getting ready for bed happens during night.
Answer: It is night.
