When you use it in conversation, I mean. Do you define it via time, for example at midnight today becomes tomorrow or whatever, or are you like me and mean when you wake up?

To me, tomorrow means "the next day that is relevant." So if I'm teaching a class, and it's Friday, and I say "your homework for tomorrow is..." and some smartass points out that "tomorrow's Saturday," I promptly remind him of my definition of tomorrow. Tomorrow's Monday, dumbass.
And then I realize I've forgotten that Monday is a holiday...

Well, say you're out drinking with some friends, you want to ask if they have any plans for the next following period of daylight, do you say tomorrow regardless of if it is before or after midnight, or do you say in the morning if it's after midnight?

I usually try to avoid saying anything about "tomorrow" at certain times. I'll usually say "later today" or "after x time." In an e-mail or text, I'll usually say the day of the week if I don't think they will read it until the morning. Stuff like that.
I prefer going strictly by time, so I'd use "today." If I'm still awake at 1 am and I'm talking about something I'm doing at noon the same day but I still have to sleep, I'll say that it's something I'm doing "later today."
I'm not confused by people who would say tomorrow, though.
Use to be when I woke up, but anymore it's after midnight. I've been working nightshift recently, 7pm to 7am, so if I don't do it like that I get my days screwed up, which honestly I do a lot anyways.

The only correct way of doing it is your way, so congrats !!
