Why this window

Instagram usage clusters around morning commutes, lunch breaks and the evening unwind. Posting into those peaks gives your content more runway while followers are actively checking feeds.

Test & measure: Test the same post across each window for two weeks and keep the one that wins — your audience's own schedule is the real signal.
