what makes a new day, a new day?

Shaf, I dedicate this post to you, since you wanted updates (though quite irrelevant to dedicate it to you). Haha.

I was wondering: what makes a new day, feels like a new day?

There are a few probable answers (at least in my opinion):

  1. Is it 00:00:01 hrs that makes a new day, feels like a new day?;
  2. Or is it the arrival of the newspaper in the early hours of the morning?;
  3. Or the dawning of a new day when the sun rises?
  4. Or the sight of people during the morning rush hour, going to work or school like you do?
  5. Or simply the moment you wake up in the morning?

For me, I would say it is a combination of all above. My sleeping pattern has been massively disrupted, due to the change in my working schedule. Now, I have to be an 'owl' every four days. On my night shift duties, time passes by slowly, very slowly (not if there's something to do). It seriously does not feel like a new day, until the newspaper man comes along. I found it rather interesting when the match Singapore vs Malaysia was being shown on tv during my night shift, and then in the matter of a few hours, the newspaper arrived with frontpage news about the match. It feels more like a new day, when I start to see daylight, and when I start to see people.

What's your take? What, to you, makes a new day feels like a new day?
