At night, when people are sleeping, they will not know what is happening around them. If an earthquake strikes, they will just die when the house collapse. In the morning, when people are in the bathroom, bathing or changing their clothes, they will have no time to run if the earthquake strikes at that time. Therefore, there will be more deaths if the earthquake happen early in the morning or late at night.

The time of occurrence of the Earthquake affect the chances of survival. If it happens to occur when people are busy or sleeping, there is a higher chance of a greater number of people dying due to the catastrophe, compared to a time when people are up and around.
