Definition.

The name given to the hours of tv when no one should be watching, namely 3am.

Obviously the name derives from the fact that anyone with a job or someone who attends school should be asleep and not watching the garbage that permeates the airways at these hours.

An interesting note to make is that during these hours, the likelihood of an error happening with a broadcast signal is infinitely more likely to happen.
