Yes, and I've also noticed that higher notes are easier to sing at night, for
me anyway.  This could be a result of the exercise that the voice normally gets
throughout the day, or it could just be different for different people.  Some
people (nightowls) tend to have an accelerated metabolism at night, so maybe
earlybirds could sing higher notes more easily in the morning.  Anyone else out
there have any observations?
