At present, writers and historians are trying to "unravel" the origin of such expressions, to understand their true essence. But there are still many expressions that are not completely unraveled.

Explanation of meaning in psychology
Many folk proverbs contain a rational kernel. We have already identified in the expression in question the most difficult to understand the meaning of the word. “Morning in the evening is wiser” is an expression that can be considered from a scientific point of view. There is some evidence that it is necessary to make all responsible decisions in the first half of the working day. The first meaning of “Morning in the evening is wiser” is that a person communicates with other people during the day, resulting in an exchange of energy. Such an interaction often causes serious “energy starvation,” the depletion of the body’s internal resources. In the early morning psychological forces are still present in a person, therefore, the probability of making the right decision, quickly eliminating all problems and complex tasks is high. Before answering a serious question, be sure to remember this.
Interesting Facts
Let's consider one more value. “Morning in the evening is wiser” is an actual expression because not only psychological, but also physical fatigue gradually overtakes a person by the end of a normal working day. In the afternoon, people feel discomfort, and by the evening it becomes increasingly difficult for them to make an important decision, to cope with a difficult life or economic situation. Psychologists strongly recommend that you use the first half of the day in order to make the choice that is of particular importance to you.
There is one more important point. “Morning in the evening is wiser” - an expression that can be considered from another point of view. Waking up in the morning, a person often still does not think about what exactly he should do for the current day. He is subconsciously ready to make an important and responsible decision. For example, a mother chooses whether to start preparing her homework with her child, or immediately start preparing a tasty and nutritious dinner for households. Having left the house in the morning, a person discusses whether to go to work on foot or to wait for transport. In the evening, such reasoning is pointless, people get so tired that they can only get to the stop, and are ready to patiently wait for the tram or bus. The brain is so tired by the evening that it is not able to fully function, its analytical function is lost.
Conclusion
Numerous popular proverbs, sayings appeared by chance. They were the result of the observations and experience of several generations. The expression "Morning in the evening is wiser" is no exception to general folklore. But psychologists recall that not every morning will be wiser than the evening. If a person does not get enough sleep, he is not able to solve complex problems, make the right decisions. Any morning after a difficult and sleepless night is not the best period for making a responsible and serious decision. For such an "unkind" morning, the most optimal will be a full sleep, a cup of coffee, and only after that it will be possible to start serious and responsible activities, to do business. The latest research confirms that even at night, the human brain continues to function, "comprehend" a specific problem. With a strong and prolonged sleep in the morning, he “issues” the right decision. If we analyze important historical events, then most of the important decisions that helped to cope with difficult political situations were also made in the morning.
