Just a quick question, can I make a death curse during a day or it has to be night?

When I was about 4, I remember waking up in the middle of the night. I just opened my eyes as if I knew that something was watching me. I saw two yellow glowing eyes staring at me. I know that wasn't a dream, this was real. I froze. I made a one second awkward smile and turned towards the wall...
