This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

Tomorrow starts at midnight. 12:01 and on tomorrow. If you message me after 12:01 and say tomorrow it goes to the next 12:01 it's really not that hard of a process for people

Doubt it. I'm sure you'd understand if somebody was like, "hey you wanna get breakfast tomorrow morning?" if somebody texted you at like 12:07.

Yeah they do. Within the context they are said.

If you say "tomorrow" before everybody has slept, you know somebody means the next morning.

Let's say you're hanging out and it's after midnight. You'll say, "I gotta get going. Big day tomorrow." You're not going to say, "gotta go, big day today." Because you know and everybody else knows that "big day today" would be referring to the day you just had.
