Late afternoon is my favorite time...

Hi

Could you please tell me why there is NO article before day?

Late morning is my favorite time of day.
(why not the day?)

Tom

PS: Could we say the same thing about late night, I mean--late night is my favorite time of day?

Thanks,

Tom

Actually it could be the day as well. There's no special reason. Some people use the article, some don't: It's that time of [the] year.
