When do you stop logging for the day?

Do you stop logging for the day at midnight or once you've gone to bed? I've always kept logging until I've gone to bed, even if it was 3 am. Just wondering what others do.

I do it before bed.0

When I am out of calories, go to bed, or midnight.0

If I eat, I log. I would love to get to the point that I'm no longer consuming food at least two hours before going to bed (11 p.m.) but I get in late most nightsand end up sometimes eating and then going right to bed. Bad habit but at least I log it.0

A day is from wake to sleep (naps may occur during). The day I log it under is the calendar day it was when I woke up.0

If I fancy some hot chocolate at 3 a.m and it will take me over my calorie goal for the day I'll log it in tomorrow's (technically, today's) diary. If I can fit it in the previous day's diary and not go over my goal I'll log it there. As long as my weekly deficit is good I'll lose weight, but I don't like to see the red bits for daily calories.0

I log from midnight to midnight. I used to work night shifts and got in the habit then.0

I log the day before, that way I set my calories for the next day and try not to deviate from the plan.0

Interesting to hear everyone's opinions on this. I've wondered this as well. I'm usually up late so I log it on the day I woke up to.0

I log midnight to midnight.0

When I go to sleep. Frequently because I care for my mom, and she sleeps during the mornings well, I will sleep from 4 am to 12 pm. My day starts when I get up after sleeping, whether that's at 6 am or 1 pm; and it ends when I go to sleep, which can be any time between 8 pm and 5 am.0

I stop logging before the midnight. If I eat smth after midnight, that goes as the first thing to my early breakfast. And I make a note..0

From when I wake up until 6am the next day.0

Yeah, me too. I'm generally nocturnal, so my "days" slop over and through real days. For regimented systems like MFP, I've taken to pretending my current day started whenever I woke up from main sleepytime.
So let's say I woke up at 8pm Tuesday. It'll be "Tuesday" for the sake of my record-keeping until whenever in Wednesday I actually go to sleep for good.
Until I figured this out, it could get pretty confusing.

I count each day from when I wake up to sleep. It's rare I'd eat something at 1 am and go to bed at 2 am anyway.0

I stop after I've finished my last meal. Helps to stop me snacking before bed, but then I'm rarely up past midnight! If had eaten before bed but after midnight would count it as the same day0

I count everything from when I wake up to when I go to bed. Often this includes things eaten at 2 or 3am, before going to bed. Only real issue is when (infrequently) do not go to bed at all. In that case the first "breakfast" food, or anything after 6am goes into the next day.0

I'd go midnight to midnight, although I'm usually in bed before then though so the last thing logged would usually be a hot drink and maybe a small snack about 10pm. It just feels neater to me that way.0

Midnight to midnight. I have episodes of insomnia so I often eat meals at non-traditional times, including the middle of the night. As soon as the clock ticks over at midnight, my logging clicks over to a new day
edit: grammar0 -
out of bed to in bed regardless of clock0
-
when im done eating for the day? lol
even if you eat something else you can add it in. its not like you cant add more.0
