Reverse is a server reboot, fine at 3am. Nightmare fuel at 3pm.

I would argue the opposite. If you have to do it at night, it means your infra is not set up very well.
3am server reboot is fine as long as it is planned. Updates and such.
Yeah, this is more what i was thinking. I mean, if you have redundant DCs, those can get rebooted whenever.
If its set up correctly you can do updates and reboots whenever, without service interruption and don't have to let your staff do night shifts just because the company is too cheap to do it right.
That assumes your applications support live migrations or vmotions. I have seen many enterprise platforms that will absolutely crap the bed when trying it.
The first hospital I worked at would play this little whimsical jingle with chimes and a baby laughing any time a baby was delivered.
Cute during the day. But after an on-call emergency surgery well after midnight, you've just changed out of your scrubs and into your normal clothes, walking down the dimly lit, completely vacant halls between the OR and the parking lot... and then out of no where this omnidirectional, slightly out of sync from all the overhead speakers playing it, creepy-ass carnival jingle fires off with echoing baby laughter... does its thing for like 4 seconds, then it's back to absolute dead silence except for the hum of the lights.
Yeah fuck that. Everyone who pulled call absolutely hated that damn thing.
Kids laughing.
Someone knocking on your door.
Bright light coming through the curtains.
I would say Repeating phone calls, but I think most people here are terrified of phone calls at any time of day.

I would be even more terrified if this happens at 3 PM.

Reading the room like a pro.
'What's normal at 3am but not at 3pm' is an even more interesting brain experiment
The world being quiet.
Large numbers of people falling unconscious.
Sobering up.
A dark sky.
I got an alert from my security cameras of a possum in my front yard at 3AM. I think it's not normal to see one at 3PM.
Waffle House customers
Someone knocking on your door.
That's always terrifying, not just at night
This may sound crazy but for anyone who ever experienced it in the middle of the night with fog....
the sound of children playing.
Horror movie vibes.
The opposite scenario is what is normal at 3am but terrifying at 3pm
Absolute complete silence in the core of a large city downtown
I've never heard that at 3am either or ever
Yes ..... it is disturbing at 3am because there is always that hum to the city at all hours of the day. But it is more noticeable and disturbing at 3pm when you know that someone somewhere should be doing something to make noise for some reason in the daylight
Do you have a psycho-killer-clown problem where you live as well?
Waking up to take a piss and finding your 5 yo child playing with their toys, oblivious to the fact that it's night time and they're alone.
BOOMER!!!
