the small hours
первые часы после полуночи, предрассветные часы

There was no one about and the street was empty. It might have been the small hours of the morning. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Gentlemen in the Parlour’, ch. XLIII) — Кругом не было ни души, улица казалась вымершей. Только что, по-видимому, перевалило за полночь.

There were brawls in the small hours and reconciliations over the bars in the evening. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 7) — Под утро начинались драки, а вечером - в кабачках - примирение шло полным ходом.

We talked until the small hours and then we went to sleep. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Lazy Lover’, ch. 14) — Мы проговорили полночи, а затем пошли спать.
