more i think about it, it's making more sense

US futures open at 1700 CT. night session is actually the start of the daily bar for the next day

similar in asia, night session is beginning of new daily bar

difference is there is huge break in asia between end of night session and start of day session (6 hours), which makes it seem like it's just an extension of the day session
 
although, it's still a little confusing . .

Monday's daily bar does not begin with a night session

while Friday's daily bar ends with the night session included
 
Stop thinking in terms of the time zone where you reside. And start thinking in terms of the time zone of the financial instrument. Then it will make much more sense and is less confusing.
