If one looks at a large enough sample, the question you ask will be
answered differently by different people:  what time are they at their
peak of mental alertness?  For some people, 5 PM to midnight is their
peak attention time vs others where their peak attention time may be
from 5 AM to noon.  Different people tend to be night people, graveyard
shift people, morning people, and afternoon people.  There's an
enormous variability within the human species.
Here's a resource which touches upon the idea of adenosine and sleep:
