There is no single best time to meditate. Morning is often easiest for beginners because the day has not started pulling you in a dozen directions yet, so the habit is simpler to keep.
Evening can also work well if your goal is to unwind, reset, or process the day. The bigger factor is consistency, not the clock.
So the practical answer is: pick the time you are most likely to repeat. A small habit done regularly beats a perfect time slot you never use.
