The suggestion to take it at night is probably because the medication causes tiredness. But your body does have a natural body clock.

-First of all, yes its the biorhythms everyone is talking about i.e. production of melatonin etc and natural steroids. For example, simvastatin is a cholesterol drug which is best taken at night because it only works optimally for less than 24 hours and the enzyme in the liver that it inhibits is most active at night.
- Secondly it can be to limit side effects such as drowsiness, e.g. caused by antihistamines or antidepressants.

Your body will know when its time to relax down as your nervous system will send a trigger to the brain saying that it is time to sleep and during this time is when your body repairs the dead skin cells and damaged cells. And that is how your body knows that it is night time in which it is time to retire to the bed. It is during this time is when certain medicines take faster reaction in healing your sickness.

Your body has its own circadian rhythm - a kind of clock that tells it when it's day and when it's night. Depending on the meds, they tell you to take it at night if it makes you drowsy.

Our bodies are beautifully designed, there is a whole network going on that we are not aware of, just trust your body clock.

Once you know, that is all that matters. They act the same way day or night.
