Are you a better writer in the morning or at night?

Despite what you may think (or how much more work you may accomplish) during the late evening hours (from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.), research shows that you are probably doing your prose a disservice.

A Grammarly study analyzed emails, social media posts and blogs and compared morning writing (from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m.) to nighttime writing. The findings showed that night owls made more mistakes.
