What constitutes a rail day?
A rail day is considered any travel between 12 midnight to 12 midnight of the following day (i.e. a 24 hour period). However, a good tip to know is the 7:00pm rule. If you board a direct, overnight train after 7pm, only the following day of travel is counted. On your flexipass, you would write the day of arrival on the pass prior to boarding the overnight train. Some individual country passes do not offer this rule.

Train Tip
Be courteous and patient with all Europeans, especially train personnel such as the conductors. They can make your journey difficult if they want. Hostility combined with a language barrier can lead to misunderstandings or worse. If you don't want problems, don't hassle others.
