The best time of day is whenever you'll do it consistently — there's no universally "correct" hour. People fit red light sessions into whatever slot suits their routine: some prefer mornings, some build it into an evening wind-down. Because any benefits people seek come from regular use over time, the practical priority is picking a time you'll actually stick with.

One small consideration: bright light in general can feel stimulating, so if you're sensitive to that, you might prefer earlier in the day rather than right before bed — though many people use devices in the evening without issue. Follow your device's guidance and your own response. We're talking habit and routine here, not making claims about effects. Consistency is the real variable worth optimizing.
