does it make a difference what time you exercise?

I've got an interesting question for ya'll that has yet to be asked. I understand that when exercising in the morning, your body releases endorphins to help with your mood and it raises your metabolism for the day as well as your overall energy for the day. Does it have the same effect if you exercise in the evening? Example: I work 3rd shift, so I get to the gym at about 630am. Well, when I get home at 8am I'm almost always asleep by 9am. Since your asleep, everything your body does slows way down. Was my workout pointless? Will it still keep my metabolism up even after I wake up again? I guess I'm wondering if it has the same benefits as working out first thing in the morning. Thanks for your help!!! oh! i'm 7 months out from open RNY and down 123#'s.
