i believe you can take it anytime for a significant GH increase. i think it's on pubmed. plenty of drugs can do that now, though - GABA, arginine, peptides, etc

classically its used as an anti hypertensive but the other side you have mentioned are a benefit as well.
What is Clonidine?
Clonidine lowers blood pressure by decreasing the levels of certain chemicals in your blood. This allows your blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax (widen) and your heart to beat more slowly and easily.
Clonidine is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Although not approved by the FDA for these purposes, clonidine has also been used to relieve alcohol withdrawal, as an aid in methadone and opiate detoxification, as an aid in quitting smoking, to treat diabetic diarrhea, to treat Tourette's Syndrome, to reduce menopausal flushing, to treat postherpetic neuralgia, to treat ulcerative colitis, and to diagnose pheochromocytoma.
Clonidine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

At .3 mg before bed, empty stomach, is supposed to double GH output for the night. It is a A2 agonist, which is the opposite of Yohimbe, the best known A2 antagonist. So when A2's, found predominantly in problem fat areas are stimulated, you have a fat storage situation, as opposed to when B2's are stimulated, (clenbuterol, ephedrine etc.) fat burning is the result. You can take it in the day, but it is somewhat dysphoric, (opposite of euphoric) and causes lethargy and sometimes depression. It is a very strong sleeper, and has been shown to synergistic with GHRP-6 allowing for a substantial rise in GH.
Another use is to sleep precontest if you are taking Clenbuterol, which has a 34 hour half life. It could effectively calm the system for several hours until you took clen again. It should be noted that it does end up in the same part of the brain that Heroin does, and thus can lighten a detox somewhat. On the other hand, it is extremely hard to stop the clonidine itself, if you use it nightly to sleep. It will help anxiety but may just lead to depression with daytime use. Buprenorphine is much better for detoxing opiates, and klonopin is much better for anxiety. But stacked with a GHRH peptide it seems to raise GH and then IGF-1 significantly.
