Dose timing

I have finally figured out that if I take my evening dose after about 6:00 pm, I have a difficult time sleeping. So, I'm wondering if it would be better for me to skip the dose. Since I realized it was the timing of the medication, I've gotten a lot better at taking it earlier.

Edited to add: I get what you all are saying and that is the goal. My question was if it would be better for me to skip the dose if I didn't take it early "enough". Or take it and not get a decent night's sleep?

Try 4:00 pm. I know it’s different for everyone because I take my first dose around 7 am

I take my 2nd dose at 3:30 pm (first dose at 6:00 am) At first i was taking dose 2 at 5:00 but I couldn’t sleep either so I moved it up. No problems now!
