At 8:00 pm


Buenas noches (Note: After 6:00 pm in Central America, they say "Buenas noches/Good night")

At 10:00 am


Buenos días

At 3:00 pm


Buenas tardes (Note: After 11:59 am and before 6:00 pm in Central America, they say "Buenas tardes/Good evening")

When you're going to bed


Buenas noches

Please note that "día" is a masculine word, thus we say Buenos días. "Tarde" and "Noches" are feminine words and so we use Buenas before them.
