Best time of day and/or state of mind for trying tactics puzzles?

Probably a dumb question. I just poked my nose in the tactics section for the first time tonight, tried a few, gave up for today after three unsuccessful attempts. I've been mentally and physically exhausted a lot lately (both due to work as well as lingering depression issues) and only returned to chess.com within the last few days. I'm guessing at the moment I'm not in the zone or something...

After a warm-up with a book of easy-level tactics, where you solve a handful of problems. Time of day? Saturday or Sunday morning works for me.
