Sat nam. Malas are fine to use when practicing simran. Use of mala can help focus the mind.
Time for simran is given in japji: "amrit vaylaa such naa-o vadhiee-ai veechar."
In the ambrosial hours of the morning, using between 3am and sunrise. Further details on how to meditate can be found in the meditation category on this youth forum.
