She generally works late into the night.
Hi
Could you please give me a rough idea of the time in the following sentences? Keeping in view that morning starts at 12, I suppose both sentences could mean the same thing. Or not?
She generally works late into the night.
She generally works late into the morning.
Thanks,
Tom

Many thanks to all of you. One more question.
If my friends come to stay with me for a night and then we talk till 4 a.m. and then go to bed. What would be the most appropriate way to express this?
We talked till late into the morning.
We talked till late into the night.
We talked into the wee hours.
Should I use "till"?
