Could you give me the time of day?

Hello, I have a medication question.
A family member has just started taking Lisinopril for high blood pressure, and has had trouble sleeping. Should the medication be taken in the morning instead of evening? Or does it vary, depending on the person.
Thanks

Okay thanks. She is switching to mornings just to see, since I talked to someone else who said to take it in the morning.
Thanks for your reply

  I have had trouble sleeping but I always attributed this to my couch potato activities during the day but when I'm active I sleep well.  So the obvious question is, are you sure it's the lisinopril?

  As far as "time of day" I can only speak for my self...  I take Carvedilol at 7pm, Lisinopril at 8pm, go to bed around 10pm with Simvastatin, and sleeping by 10:30, 11pm. So there's 2hrs before bed time and a third before sleeping and I'll sleep all night.
