It's better to code when you are ready to code. For me that is from about 8AM to 12AM. After that my brain goes a bit mush - so I instead turn to administrative stuff. For you it could be totally different. This is why I don't chain my coders to their desks. They code when they code (baring ZOMGWTF all-hands-on-deck situations (which we actually haven't encountered yet)) and they produce better code for it. As long as tasks get checked off I don't care when it happens.
