full day

Dawn to dusk

A full day is an entire day, typically meaning the complete span of working or waking hours rather than a partial one.

Someone who works a full day puts in a complete shift: I spent a full day cleaning out the garage.

The phrase emphasizes duration and completeness—not rushed or cut short.
