How to say "time periods in the day"?

[Baifeixiang]

I know how to say "zaoshang," "zhongwu," "banye" and all of that kind of stuff, but what do Chinese say "time periods in the day" or "parts of the day" when referring to these individual units generally?

 

Thanks in advance!

I think you are correct. Although, I think it may need context as it is literally a "period of time." I used your answer as a basis for a search and found "一天的时间段." Thanks!
