In the scriptures, twenty-four hours are divided into different periods, out of which Pradosh Kaal i.e. the time of sunset is considered the most sensitive and sacred. This is the time when the day is ending and the night is beginning, that is, the two times are meeting each other. According to Vaastu science and Hindu tradition, doing certain things at this time is considered completely prohibited, the most important of which is sleeping at or just after sunset.
