I would say, just from my own experiences, that it's best to check whenever you remember- as soon as you remember. Because the important part of a reality check is that you are thinking enough to remember to do it.

If you aren't thinking enough to remember to check then it's quite possible that you would arrive at the wrong answer to your reality check. Like thinking that battling against space vampires was reality.

On the other hand, if you remember that you are supposed to be checking, you are one step closer to realizing that you're dreaming. Because if you have enough reason to ask the question then the answer is probably "dream".
