We reveal the best time of the day to have sex…. and it’s not in the evening

Research finds when is best to drink wine, sleep and eat

THE best time to have sex is at 7.30am, around 45 minutes after the best time to wake up, boffins have discovered.

Energy levels are at their highest after a good night’s rest which means lovers have more stamina.

The rush of endorphins sparked by sex lowers blood pressure and stress.

The study of 1,000 ­people by health and well-being firm Forza Supplements found the ideal time for boozing is 6.10pm, four hours before the optimum bedtime.

It worked out the best times to eat breakfast was 7.15am, lunch 12.15pm and dinner 6pm to maximise weight loss.

Concentration levels peak around three hours after we have woken up, so it's best to save the most taxing jobs of the day at work for around 9.45am.

Around an hour later, stress levels peak at 10.45am - most typically early in the week when our to-do lists are heaviest, so this is the best time to relax.

The study pinpointed the weak moments when we were most likely to put on weight with a sugar rush.

Snack O'clock comes most frequently at 3.30pm, when we are starting to lag at work, and 8.15pm when we are relaxing in front of the TV, so this is the best time to show willpower.

Wine O'clock, the best time for an alcoholic drink, is 6.10pm - four hours before we go to bed to maximise the time for liver recovery.

The best time for sleep is at 10.10pm - allowing for 20 minutes to get to sleep and 90 minutes of the most restorative non-REM sleep which is most likely to occur prior to midnight.
