Many moon ago, in college, when I was a night writer, I went to a lecture by Syne Mitchell. She said that first thing in the morning was the best time for writing (first drafts) because your mind is in some sort of half-dream state still. (She had a fancy term for it, but I don't remember it.)
That may be true, but I find that for me, it's more that first thing in the morning, I don't have 12-some previous hours of the day and events and trials riding on my mental shoulders, trying to compete with the story I'm telling.
