When the clock strikes midnight? When the sun goes down? When the sun comes up? After you've woken from a night of sleep, or forsaken sleeping for that night? At 4am?

Do you like clocks? How many clocks can you see from where you're sitting right now?
 
In most cases, I don't officially consider it tomorrow until after I've gone to bed and woken up during that day.
 
Clocks, though I don't usually think it's "tomorrow" until I go to bed and wake up. I can see three clocks from where I am right now, plus my watch for four. I kinda like clocks but never really think about them much.
 
Not until I wake up. Zero clocks, i'm much more of a watch guy. Especially pocket watches, although all of mine have either been stolen by psycho ex girlfriends or need to be repaired.
 
Purely by the clock. I refuse to discriminate against those who work night shifts by labeling them as being one day behind us just because they have a different sleeping schedule.
 
Watches are clocks! And pocket watches are awesome.

Lucy, why don't you just visit all of us and take inventory of our households that way? We'd get to meet you, and you could travel the world and update your census of everything we own (chairs, coffee tables, lamps, clocks, and whatever else you've been asking about). :p

I consider "tomorrow" in several ways:

1. When I wake up after having had at least 4 hours' sleep (it's irrelevant whether the sleep occurs in daytime or nighttime).

2. The first measurable moment after midnight, my time zone.

3. The world will never end today, because it's always tomorrow somewhere else.

I own lots of clocks, but only two actually work as they're supposed to (the ones on my laptop and PC). My alarm clock's night light is burned out, but since I can't find the clock itself, that's not much of a concern. The rest of my clocks are either unplugged, the batteries are dead, or I just never bothered to reset them (DST is too inconvenient for me to reset the dumb clocks twice a year).

I've given up wearing watches because they seem to die after I wear them for awhile (sometimes just a matter of weeks! :().

If the ground around here were decently flat, I'd get a sundial. Those are cool. :)

I need to sleep
 
I'll pay my taxes tomorro, i'll paint that fence tomorro..
 
It depends on the context, but since 99 times out of 100 I mean "after I wake up", I voted "...by sleeping".
 
I like to think while drinking, at least my hang-over isn't until tomorro :cheers:
 
Tomorrow Never Dies.

2 clocks visible. 1 pocket watch near.
 
Straight after midnight is the beginning of a new day.
1 wristwatch, 1 alarmclock and then I have that little clock on the PC.
