Every once in a while, as I'm about to walk out the door, I'll reach for the flashlight in my pocket, and it'll be daytime. 
At nighttime, I need a flashlight when I go outside, and I don't always know if it's daytime or nighttime.
This might be because I'm non-24 and sometimes I'm awake during the day, and sometimes I'm awake at night.
Do you ever reach for a flashlight when you don't need one? 
Also, I saw a personalized license plate the other day that says...

I wonder if they're talking about flashlights. 
No, i can’t say I have ever done that.
BTW, Is “non-24” a real term or one you made up?
Oh, it's real.

Most people that are non-24 have severe visions problems or are blind, but I can see pretty well.
I do have to wear glasses because I'm nearsighted, but I'm not blind or anything like that.
He’s from Melmac, where the days are 37 hours.
When I was in Junior High, I thought Alf was pretty good.
Looking back on the show now, not so much.
When have you ever met a raccoon that isn’t nocturnal
Thems fightin’ words, mister. Put your dukes up! 
If it makes you feel any better, I dislike almost all sitcoms now.
I do like late night talk shows that are funny and movies that are funny, but I haven't been a fan of most sitcoms for a long time.
I think most of the sitcoms that I like are cartoons made for adults.
Such as because I just want to hold a flashlight because I like the feel of a well made product, or because it gives me a sense of comfort and security?
No…of course not. I’m normal, I swear!
Nice!
I didn't even think of those reasons.
They're way better than me just being forgetful.
There’s never a good time to be without one.
What if I’m trapped without warning and without power in a building during the day? What my plans change and I’m somewhere late?
What if what if what if what if…
I always have a D4 or DT8 in my pocket. Always, period. 
A good light and a Leatherman in your pocket will get your out of 99% of bad situations.
I constantly go out of my way to find an excuse to use one haha.
I’ll often get bored and just start spider/centipede hunting around my apartment. using the light to see in all the dark areas.
“…don’t need one?”
when would that be?
Well said buddy
I always carry a good light and Leatherman Skeletool when I go out.
Everyday. Day or night, I bring one of the following: D4V2, DT8 or my Nitecore Tiki. My eyesight is not as good as when I was younger, so whenever there is some really fine print I take out my readers and a flashlight. A good light is also handy when trying to find something under your car seat that fell out of your pocket. I just received my Sofirn SC21Pro, once I get Anduril 2 installed, it may replace my Tiki in the rotation.
Ever been in one of those bathrooms with motion activated lights where the sensors are only at the entrance, not over the stalls and with a ridiculously short timer? Regardless of the time of day, I always have a TUP in my pocket and a Tini 2 on my keychain. Before that it was some form of 14500 with a 10440 plus a photon clone on the keychain. You never know for sure if you’re going to be home before dark or get stuck in a pitch black situation. I prefer not to rely on just a phone with a short reach and questionable battery life that I might prefer to save for calling in help.

Maybe when it's daytime and you're outside in broad daylight? 
That said, I usually reach for a flashlight when I don't think I need one when it's close to dawn or dusk, and I'm not aware that the sun is slightly up.
Always trying to find an excuse for it 
What’s worse than not having one around when you really need one?
