A phrase used to describe a stark difference between two things. Similar to night and day, but "day and night" implies things got worse whereas "night and day" implies things got better. Sometimes preceded by "like."
JJ Redick was the man back in college, but now that he's in the NBA, he seems content to be a bench warmer averaging 4 points a game. The difference in his performance has been day and night.

Jake: "Wow bro, it was really light out here around 3 in the afternoon, but now that it's 9:00, it's dark as hell."
Blake: "For real dude. The difference in darkness level is like day and night."

Usually employed in the realm of B Movies, Day for Night refers to the act of closing the curtains in a home or finding a decently dark area outside, filming there and pretending it’s night and then in post throwing a blue filter over the scene, lowering the brightness and contrast to make it look like “Night.”
In the movie “The Last Vampire on Earth” Vitalie Versatchi uses Day for Night in a scene with the Vampire.

A Beatles, song, movie, and album (actually a soundtrack for the film) All three of them are absolute classics. The phrase 'a hard day's night' was actually created accidentaly by Ringo Starr, who often combined two phrases to create a new one.
