I mean both suns are shining on the planet creating night time on both sides

Well when I designed the solar system and the concept of time, I originally was going to make it more physically and mathematically correct.. however, since Stefan was the one who actually was scripting it, he wanted to stick to his 24 hour thing.
So, when I designed the multiple star system, the only way to change the times (since Bomriket is larger than Unipordum) was to just add two more real days onto the Bomriket years (they have 17 real days.. or 17 months and 408 graal days).
I would have made it extremely accurate to as if it were real (well, excluding the fact that nothing could live in this intense heat.. and a planet would never actually somehow change its gravitational pull after coming between two stars.. it would normally be held by the larger star no matter what.. unless for some odd reason it became far away from it and closer to the small star.. in which case the alternation would be randomness).
Anyways.. day and night is definately possible.
There was supposed to be a specific Bomunian period in which the years approached the silvester and departed it.. the Bomunian period would have orange days and nights (which means that every Bomunian day is orange with light since it is almost directly between both stars).
When it is completely between the stars, it is the silvester and the day is extremely hot and yellow.. this is when the gravitational path changes to the "other" star.
Dark nights do not come until the planet is away from the Bomunian coordinate in the gravitational-eight-shaped path.
I think the Bomriket years also have red nights.. since the Bomriket star is also red.
