10:00 PM is a time that occurs in the evening, marking the end of the day for many people. It is often associated with winding down activities, such as preparing for bed or enjoying leisure time. In a 12-hour clock format, it follows 9:00 PM and precedes 11:00 PM. In a 24-hour clock system, 10:00 PM is represented as 22:00. This time is significant in various cultures, often linked to nighttime routines. Many businesses, such as restaurants and stores, may close around this hour, while others, like movie theaters, may still be open for late shows.
