Day time

Hi

I want to know if the underlined expression is common among native speakers.

I did not like going to night school but I had no alternative as I had to work in day time.

I think during the day sounds natural or probably standard.

Please give your views.

Either "in the daytime " (note article and spelling) or "during the day" would be fine. I'd be more likely to use "during the day" in this context, but I wouldn't rule out using the other.
