Time of day

Is there a simple way to obtain the time of day in R? I want the time of day for computational purposes, not for display. I want to be able to create code like the following: if (time_of_day >= 22:00 & time_of_day <= 06:00) then X otherwise Y
^^^^^ ^^^^^ this will not work: the times need to be something that R understands, eg, numeric values such as 2200 or character values such as "22:00"
I realize I could parse a date/time object and extract the time, but hopefully other people have already done this, or there is a straightforward representation of time of day in R that I have not been able to find in the documentation.
strftime(Sys.time(), "%H:%M")
