The period of time when you have been awake for way too long and you have gone past being tired to being wide awake. Suddenly, everything is hilarious.

The penguin hour is characterized by a degree of euphoria, high levels of energy, lowered inhibitions, and often a lack of coordination.

It is remarkably similar to certain levels of intoxication, but does not require any external chemical influences whatsoever.

Often followed rapidly by a crash or a slonk.
