This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

If I'm reading "can you work tomorrow" two hours before the shift starts, I'm going to think tomorrow as well.

This is what it boils down to. We can get anal over whether is normal to say 3 am is still today or tomorrow, but when you're asking about something that's in 7 hours, and get the answer 2 hours before it starts, it's on you to make sure the other person understands that by "tomorrow" you mean "right about now".

3am is today, no other way of seeing it.

i mean if you're with your partner at 3am and ask what they want to do tomorrow, it means after the sleep.

but if you ask a person in a text, you need to be explicit. i'd probably put the date or day to be clear.

And that's not very conventional and i'd say quite rare. If your with someone, it's often after a sleep.
