#### Usage notes

Tomorrow does not necessarily refer to the next day as defined by a calendar, a clock’s time, but may refer to the remaining part of the current calendar day (and possibly also some part of the subsequent day) after sleeping and waking up again, especially if the speaker or recipient is about to go to sleep.
