Definitely right after waking (early morning: between 5-7 AM) is one good time. Midafternoon (2-4 PM) is another good time.
The morning time will help you be awake for the day and feel sleepy at the right time in the evening to go to bed. The midafternoon time will help keep you asleep all night and wake up at the right time in the morning.
Also, if you can exercise BEFORE eating in the morning, then you can "carb-load" your brain and help it produce more serotonin throughout the day, which will help with mood and also melatonin production at night (the serotonin produced during the day is used in melatonin production at night).
**EDITED TO ADD** -- Actually, you want to carb-load and tryptophan-load your brain at breakfast -- lots of complex carbs and tryptophan.
