# llGetRegionTimeOfDay

*LSL function*

```lsl
float float llGetRegionTimeOfDay();
```

- Returns: `float`
- Energy: 10

Will return the same result as [llGetTimeOfDay](/functions/llGetTimeOfDay/) on parcels that use region environment settings.

By default (without custom environment settings), Second Life day cycles are 4 hours long, but can be configured to anywhere between 4 and 168 hours long.

Returns a [float](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/float) that is the time in seconds with sub-second precision since Second Life midnight (per the region-scoped day cycle settings).
