Everyone is different.
I spent 8.5 years commuting in the Toronto area with traffic getting worse and worse each year.
Being a morning person meant I lost my most productive work hours in the car (public transport would take almost twice as long) and arrived at the office stressed from the 1.5 hour drive, all while getting emails and calls that I couldn't really deal with in the car, stressing me out more, arriving at the office in no mood to be able to think clearly.
I quit that job (difficult, financially and emotionally, because as the President of the company I had literally built large parts and hire more than 2/3rds of the team), and went back to consulting.
It was night and day, in far fewer hours I produced a lot more, simply because I eliminated stresses and had more and better focus time.
It also helped me create and set up boundaries, because the modern workplace is pretty toxic, at all levels. Maybe always has been.
