Calorie counting question

For those of you who count calories, do you count from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed or do you count for a 24 hour period?

    I do from when I wake up until I go to sleep. That's the way I've always considered "a day," even though the time may say otherwise.

    I count the time I'm awake as a day. If I eat after midnight I count it on the previous day. The same with exercise. If I worked graveyard or had an otherwise unorthodox schedule I'd probably do it differently.

    My schedule is pretty erratic. I always count from wake up to bed time.

    I start with breakfast and end with the last thing I eat , sometimes dinner, sometimes a snack, before I go to bed.
