Koohii stories:

1) [Christine_Tham] 21-7-2007(191): A nightbreak happens when the sun rises over the horizon (floor).

2) [tomb771] 9-2-2007(65): It may be easier to think of the keyword "DAYBREAK" or "MORNING" for this kanji (other kanji dictionaries do). Then the mnemonic phrase "SUN rising over the HORIZON" works better. It is an infrequent kanji, but can be found in: 旦夕 （たんせき） morning and evening, or 元旦 （がんたん） New Year's Day.

3) [Cacawate] 7-12-2006(43): The sun rising over the horizon is giving the night a break. -nightbreak.

4) [epsilondelta] 15-12-2009(23): HINT: You can substitute sunrise in your stories if you don't like the rare (and ambiguous) "nightbreak". Note that daybreak (#1201 暁) is already taken. Don't confuse with rising sun (#27 旭), which is the sun itself, rather than the time of the day.

5) [Tsuki11] 29-10-2007(13): Nightbreaks when the sun peeks over the horizon at dawn.
