"Demon hours"
I've heard multiple people refer to the middle of the night as "demon hours" in DBD, and I'm beginning to wonder.
If I play in the early-to-mid evening, I'm almost guaranteed to get a group of friendly casuals who I can wreck so quickly and effortlessly that I almost feel bad for playing like a complete #########.
But from around eleven to five, every other game has a P100 or multiple above P50, and I'm sweating every second of every game or I don't stand a chance, whether I'm playing Spirit or Ghostface.
What's been your experience? Are games sweatier later in the evening, or does it just seem that way?

I die all day long

honestly, every day is a 50/50 at any hour. either sweaty games all day, or meme games all day.

That's....literally the only time I really play at.
I haven't really noticed it being very difficult

11PM-5AM has the most consistently good or at least sweaty players. If I am going to play killer then I am probably going to play at those hours. Every single game I play before 10PM just makes me feel bad, as if I were smurfing in silver.

It's probably region dependent. I see many big streamers from a certain area play killer at those time and they might as well just play kill your bots instead. At least the bots would try do a gen.

It probably varies between regions. For me the early afternoon (2pm to 3pm) and very, very early mornings (4 am) are the hardest.
In the evenings there are mostly casuals, I think.

In my EU exp everthing else besides prime time (5pm - 11pm) has a higher chance of MMR actually working = to be more sweaty.

umm... my experience is i win most of my matches as killer.
edit
but demon hours is such a cool term for a game like dbd. way better than "sweats"
is this term referring to killers or survivors?

Sweaty 24/7 in my region. Whose with me!?

It's more like everyone is on during those hours so its just more likely to see sweaty players.
From a personal stand, we never noticed anything different other than que times.
Also can we make "demon hours" an actual thing? It sounds edgy enough that it's funny

I have played in ever single possible time, middle of the night, morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, evening and currently have 2.5k hours under my belt. I have not noticed any consistency between times and the difficulty of matches. If anything, it seems periodic. For days I can stomp both killers and survivors with whatever I pick and then nothing works. It's not my MMR either because it's always in tandem with the other side as well, if my killer matches are sweaty, my survivor games are Nurse/Blight exclusive shows.

This. Evening is the chillest period of the day, unsurprisingly ("normal" people coming back from school/work).

Essentially late afternoon/night time when everyone’s off work and out of school is when all the swf sweat squads form up so it’s the more challenging time.
During the morning and middle of the day are much chiller matches and less swf.

Considering my schedule I usually am only able to play late at night, and I don't find them any different. If anything thats when I get the most inconsistent games compared to days

I only play DBD at night and I definitely notice better survivors on during those hours, both teammates and opponents. Usually 1 to 2 flashlights every match, but a good chunk of people don't know how to use them and are just a minor annoyance. Still, they're backed up by survivors that actually do gens so it can be rough sometimes.
Really, the only big thing is that after 8 PM, it's always a 100% bloodpoint bonus to Killer for basically the whole night. Queues are also like 4 seconds during that time so it's kinda nice.
