Since is used to specify or define a period of time.
For example, "I have been writing this since yesterday night". "Since" in this sentence suggests that he has been doing it right from yesterday night. He has not done anything else.
Or, "I haven't seen Marcy since Tuesday." In this sentence, the word "Since" suggests that the speaker has not seen Marcy from Tuesday. This means that the speaker has last seen her on Tuesday and not after that.
Thus, it defines a period of time, i.e., for how long an action is being done or has been done and the like.
