...if you had no timepiece to check the hours and a temporary snag in recalling when exactly you had gone to bed?
Did it ever happen to you?

This has happened to me.
I couldn't tell, so I just smoked and waited for it to get lighter or darker.

Dawn boldly advances, the colors fade into the brightness.... Dusk steals across the land, its colors fade into the darkness.
Other than that, if the sun rises, it is dawn. If the sun is settling towards the horizon, it is dusk.

I don't remember ever losing track of time that badly!
The colors of dusk are lighter at the top, and the colors at dawn are lighter at the bottom.

I would try to figure out if the light is coming from the west (dusk) or east (dawn).

Dusk is the time when the light goes out of the sky so it would go from dark blue, purple, to black.
Dawn is the time when the light comes into the sky and you can begin to see objects, so it would go from black to purple to blue, before the sunrise.

dusk colours tend to highlight whereas dawn colours tend to darken up.

The colors are the same. Perhaps the arrangement may be different.
