midnights
Day's final moments
Midnights is the plural of midnight—twelve o'clock at night, the boundary between one day and the next.
The plural appears when referring to multiple instances: I've spent too many midnights working on this project.
It also names Taylor Swift's 2022 album, which explores sleepless nights and late-hour thoughts.
