I find myself lately almost always awake until 8am. I get up in the
evening, go to bed at morning. And yes, that red spot on my chin is
definitely ketchup.
I'd like a different notion of "today" than just "midnight to
midnight". Most of my productive day is spent after midnight, so for
me, whenever I type C-a a, I always have to then hit the left arrow key
to see my (today's) task list from the point of view of last night. It
also affects me when I want to schedule things for "today", since
org-mode's today is often my tomorrow.
Something like `org-mode-day-begin', which I could set to (* 60 8) to
say that each day go from 8am to 8am. That would suit nicely.

I can see that this might be practical, but also that it could be
confusing.
I am not sure if this is possible. We would need a very careful
definition
under what circumstances you'd like this definition to take charge.
For example:
- when turning on the agenda, between midnight and 6am, the startup date
could still be the previous day.
- when using "." in the agenda, we could go to the previous day.
- scheduling is much harder.
- if you just hit RET, it could be yesterday for times before 6am
or so
- if you enter a relative date it still sort-of works.
- if you also enter a time, the trouble definitely starts.
Maybe you could try to write down a careful specification so that we
could discuss that here?
