Prayer - help required

I have been told that the third part of the night is when Allah (swt) comes down to the 7th heaven and therefore we should pray at that time for something we desire because it is most likely to be heard.

Could you tell me if this is true and if so how you do work out the 3rd part of the night??

Sorry if this question sounds silly.

Calculate from isha to fajr and divide by 3:D and the third part is the last part

Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: 'Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?' "

Sahih Bukhari.

Narrated Ibn Abbas

Once I stayed overnight at the house of (my aunt ) Maimuna while the Prophet was with her, to see how was the night prayer of Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle talked to his wife for a while and then slept. When it was the last third of the night (or part of it), the Prophet got up and looked towards the sky and recited the Verse: "Verily! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth...there are indeed signs for the men of understanding." (3.190)

Then He got up and performed the ablution, brushed his teeth and offered eleven Rakat. Then Bilal pronounced the Adhan whereupon the Prophet offered a two-Rak'at (Sunna) prayer and went out to lead the people in Fajr (morning compulsory congregational) prayer.

Sahih Bukhari.

Narrated Masruq

I asked 'Aisha "What deed was the most beloved to the Prophet?" She said, "The regular constant one." I said, "At what time did he use to get up at night (for the Tahajjud night prayer)?" She said, "He used to get up on hearing (the crowing of) the cock (the last third of the night)."

Sahih Bukhari.
