VirtualPREX How To...

Daylight settings If Second Life is at night time you need to change the Environment settings if you want it to be day. Second Life is on a four hour cycle. One hour night, one hour sunrise, one hour midday and one hour sunset. To change back to midday when it begins to get dark, you need to go to the World menu, then down to Sun and choose Midday (World/Sun/Midday) (see image below right).
