Night is the new Day

A term I use. I often stay up much later than I should (At the time i'm writing this it is
6am and I have had
no sleep since the night before.) I use it and am agreed with by other friends that stay up late.
Practically nocturnal, it means that people who stay up really late do so because they love staying awake
through the night, thus saying for these people that night is the time when they do things most do in the day. It also mean that they may wish that everyone did what people normally do in day was done at night instead.
Example:
Jamie: Nobody is ever online at this time.
Tash: Yeah I know
Jamie: I hate going to sleep early in the night. I love the night, I wish I was
nocturnal.
Tash:
That'd be sooo cool!
Jamie: Yeah, Night is the new Day!
