The 2300 hour, every quarter
What 2300 means on a shift
The night shift, 2300 to 0700, begins here and crosses midnight, so the card for it shows two dates. The evening shift that started at 1500 is clocking out. For most of the public it is late evening; for the night crew it is the beginning of the day. 2359 is the last minute of the calendar day in every system that uses 0000 for midnight.
The mistake people make with 2300
2300 is 11 PM. 11 AM is 1100. The particular confusion with this hour is what comes next: after 2359 the clock goes to 0000, not 2400 and not 1200. Some schedules write 2400 to mean the end of the day; it is the same instant as the next day's 0000. On a timesheet, a shift ending after 2300 is recorded with the next date for the clock-out.
2300 is 11:00 PM, spoken twenty-three hundred hours. It is the last full hour of the 24-hour day. The minute after 2359 is 0000, and the date changes with it. It is also the hour the night shift starts in hospitals, plants and any operation that runs three turns.
Worked examples
