confusing myself - when do i start?

ok, does this question make ANY sense??
this is my first month on the pill so everything is new to me and i want to be sure i'm doing things right. i'm approaching the end of my first week of inactive pills which means i'll start a new pack on sunday. since the beginning, i've been taking my pill at night, at about 9 PM (same even with the sugar pills this week). on sunday, should i stick to what has become my normal schedule and take the first active pill of the new pack at 9 PM or should i take it earlier (say, in the morning)? i guess i'm asking since i've been off hormones for a week and am wondering if i should take it earlier to avoid any "non-protection" possibilities. am i thinking too hard?
thanks everyone :)

As long as you go no more than 7 24-hour days without taking active pills you are protected. Unless you want to change your pill time to 9:00 AM there is no need to take your first active pill in the new pack before your regular pill time. You���re good to go on your regular schedule. OK?
Good luck
