the witching hour

An oft voiced opinion of mine: the period of time between 4am and 5 am is MISERABLE.
There are very few worthwhile reasons to be staying up that late.

That said, I have been up til what Anna and I refer to as “the witching hour” for the past two nights. I’m relieved to be breaking the cycle tonight.
Sidenote, isn’t it frustrating when no English word fits what you’re trying to convey? For example, I wanted to say “what Anna and I [antonym of lovingly] refer to as…” but to my knowledge no word with this definition exists. Despisingly? Hatingly? Loathingly? Anyone…?
