You’re a better person in the morning than at night.

You may wake up a good person, but it’s all downhill from there.

It’s known as “morning morality” in psychological circles.  Studies have found that most of us experience our morality peak in the morning hours.  That’s the time of day we’re least likely to cheat, lie or cut corners.  As the day goes on, life’s distractions tend to desensitise our moral fiber a bit.  When the sun goes down, we’re naturally less inhibited, which could trigger immoral behavior.

If you’ve got a big decision to make, you’re more likely to make a more responsible choice after breakfast - but before lunch.
