Between midnight and 6 amThis was the right answer

There's a particular risk when driving between midnight and 6 am. This is when the 'body clock' is programmed for sleep in most people. There's another, smaller, dip between 2 pm and 4 pm. If you feel that tiredness is affecting your ability to drive, stop in a safe place and rest.
