That would depend on where you live, and the time of year. I suppose
one could take into account some sort of national average, but I don't
see the purpose there.

Here in Phoenix, the summer afternoons have the air conditioners all
running like mad, and they are a big hitter. I expect it's worst at
about 5PM, when everyone comes home and cranks the suckers to the max
(if they've reduced the requirement during the day on an empty
house). Lights come on as it gets dark, but people go to bed not
too long after that.

Now, if you're talking about coastal California, where AC isn't really
a big issue, I'd agree.
