It really didn't help me sleep better at the time I was still waking up 3-4 times a night, I no longer wake up at night. I have asked your same question in the past and some take it mid-afternoon to supper. The advice I got was to play with the times. I didn't play with mine much, and I have stuck with taking it sometime during the evening. My wife also takes it in the evening, but she had no side effects from it.
Hope this helps!

Take care Tim.
