Is it permitted for couples to have relations in the daytime if they are tired in the evenings?

2Why is the assumption that they can't? That may make this a better question. – andrewmh20 Sep 14 '14 at 0:50

1Is it permitted to have relations in the evening if they are tired in the day? What if they had chicken for dinner? But what if it's partly cloudy? – Double AA♦ Sep 14 '14 at 0:55

3....keep in mind that Mi Yodeya is not really a place for practical halachic advice -- any information you get here should be treated as if it came from a crowd of your friends.... – MTL Sep 14 '14 at 5:42

1@DoubleAA I'm trying to say make your criticism constructive and phrase it in such a way that it encourages better questions, and doesn't sound like you're making fun of the person. Andrew's comment is constructive without coming across as snarky. – Robert S. Barnes Sep 14 '14 at 17:11

We learn in Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 240:11 סימן רמ - איך יתנהג האדם בתשמיש מטתו:
אָסוּר לְשַׁמֵּשׁ בַּיּוֹם, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הוּא בַּיִת אָפֵל
One is forbidden to have relations during the day unless it's a dark room.
From this we see that in a darkened room you may have relations during the day. There is no prerequisite for the daytime to be more convenient.
BTW: In Shulchan Aruch Even haEzer 25:5 סימן כה - לגדר גדר שלא להרבות בתשמיש, וכיצד יתנהג בשעת תשמיש we learn:
אָסוּר לְשַׁמֵּשׁ מִטָּתוֹ בַּיּוֹם, שֶׁעַזּוּת פָּנִים הִיא לוֹ
That a person is forbidden to have relations during the day. However, there's a note there to see the Halacha in Orach Chaim.

The Talmud (Niddah 17a as understood by Rashi) praises people who, due to being tired at night and not enjoying the experience, have relations during the day time. – Double AA♦ Feb 4 '16 at 6:10
