Unless your glycogen is depleted extensively, you won't be supercompensating on the glycogen storage, so there is nothing really critical about the timing. The best time to eat carbs in general is after training as supposedly, contraction brings more of the insulin dependent glucose transporters (GLUT4) to the surface of muscle tissue enabling more glucose to go to muscle glycogen storage rather than fat storage. So after you train is best, night is bad, and any other time, doesn't really matter.
