Hi,
We have discussed the view that we visit the sick in order to be inspired to pray on their behalf.
Because of this concern, we are taught not to visit early in the morning. People suffering from certain illnesses are strongest in the morning, and a visitor might feel there is no need to daven.
We are also taught not to visit late at night, because people suffering from certain illness are weakest at night, and a visitor might give up hope.
(Tur and Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 335)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
