In English we also say things like "3 in the morning" to distinguish it from 3 in the afternoon. But we don't really consider 3am morning! :))
PS - am goes from midnight to noon, and pm is noon to midnight. 12am is midnight and 12pm is noon. So about half the am hours are night, and half the pm hours are day.
