I'll explain! Technically days change at midnight, but it's pretty damn assburgerish and confusing to say "I'm going to work today" at 00:01. At some arbitrary or non-arbitrary time it will sound normal to say "today" in that sentence. Sleep is usually an easy border, but sometimes we skip nights or sleep at societally monstrous times. So, at what time do you stop saying "tomorrow" and start saying "today"?
I've thought about this long and hard, and my conclusion is 4:30. It just feels right.
When does the day change?

I've struggled with the problem often but never really thought about it further. But ye, 4:30 sounds just about right =)

09:00-11:00 forenoon
11:00-13:30 lunch
13:30-17:00 afternoon
17:00-22:00 evening
22:00-05:00 night
05:00-09:00 morning
09:00-11:00 forenoon
11:00-13:30 lunch
13:30-17:00 afternoon
17:00-22:00 evening
22:00-05:00 night
Re: When does the day change?
Ooh, yes, that's important too! My simple definitions:
06:00-12:00 morning
12:00-18:00 day
18:00-00:00 evening

12:00-18:00 day
18:00-00:00 evening
00:00-06:00 night
