The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
So much of the evidence points to the fact that in the first half of the day, approximate first half of the day, dopamine and norepinephrine are elevated in the brain, body, and bloodstream much more than is serotonin and that in the second half of the day and in particular towards evening and nighttime, serotonin levels are going up.

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Conversely, the neurom modulator serotonin causes people to underestimate the amount of time that's passed.
What that means is that our perception of the passage of time will be very different in the early part of the day and in the latter half of the day.
As dopamine levels rise in the brain, people tend to think that the minute is up before a minute. So they at 38 second mark, they'll say, "Okay, I think a minute is up." So they've overestimated how much time has passed.
So much of the evidence points to the fact that in the first half of the day, approximate first half of the day, dopamine and norepinephrine are elevated in the brain, body and bloodstream much more than is serotonin.
There's some emerging evidence that throughout the 24-hour cycle, there are robust changes in the amount of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin that are present in the brain and bloodstream and body depending on time of day within the circadian cycle.
