when is it better to take a shower, before I go to sleep (about 10:30pm) or when I wake up in the morning (about 6:30am)?

Depends upon your objective. Because a shower raises your body temperature for about 2 hours, then drops it lower, many people find that a shower 2 hours before bed is a helpful sleep aid.
Others of us (non-morning types especially) prefer a shower as a pleasant transition from the comforts of bed to the horrors of being upright and expected to function at an unearthly hour!
Also, if I have been outside in a lot of pollen, or doing sweaty manual labor, I add a quick shower before bed.
Also, with naturally curly hair that looks it's best with a 2 hour natural dry time, it's a perfect way to start my day-with shampoo!
Bottom line, it's personal preference based on any number of factors:)

WHAT?! LOL. Is there a correct answer to this question. Common sense would state you'd be cleaner for work if you took a shower in the morning! It will wake you up more too, no?

It all depends on your schedule. You should shower before going to work, school, ect ( if you have the time.)
Other than that, take a shower whenever you like.
The elders in my family have certain beliefs about bathing, that are not founded in science.... but I'll share a few.
They say:
-You shouldn't bathe at night.... or you'll get sick.
-If your body is hot, you should cool down before taking a bath....or you'll get sick.
If your a woman (and menstruating) you shouldn't take a bath at all.... or you'll get sick.
I guess they really don't want to get sick. LOL
