i dont think it really matters when you train, but it matters how much sleep you get, try for at least 8hrs kip if you can. Hope that helps.

^Like above.....Some articles and theories out there suggesr morning is the best time to train. This is when testorone levels are highest which in turn creates an anabolic environment within your body.
LIke guys above...Not an ideal World so we all have to adapt training times to our daily lifestyles....whatever is most practical and convenient should be the time you train.
8 Hours sleep minimum every night is Crucial to recovery.
I train at 7:00am and if lost 1-2 hours sleep night before then it really affects the way i feel for the rest of the day.
