For most of the game, there are only 3 times. Day, evening, and night(and late-night in chapter 4). Just do something for the day to continue, such as certain repeatable scenes.
Most of the time, it's the same time frame if it says night or evening. (since except for Ch4 and 5 there is not a 4th time frame at late night)
So sleeping will get you yo the evening.
