Health offers the best time of day to:
Exercise -- In the early morning: Belgian researchers found that working out before breakfast helps the body burn fat more efficiently.

Take a nap -- between 1-3pm: During this time most people's core temperature drops and melatonin levels rise, signaling it's time for a temporary recharge explains Michael Breus, Ph.D., a sleep specialist and the author of The Power of When.
Have a drink -- after work: The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase is most active in the evening, so you'll process the alcohol in your cocktail more efficiently.
