Ecological dilemma du jour

This morning on the radio, they mentioned that they're asking us to minimize electricity usage between noon and 8pm. So I waited until after 8 pm to put my laundry in. However, because I waited until later (I normally would have done it at 6), I'll have to run the dryer on a higher setting so my sheets will be dry so I can put them back on my bed before I go to sleep. So was it still worth waiting until 8 pm? Or should I have put the laundry in earlier and used less power for drying?
