Diana,
This is a great question. You could do a morning Poolish, although I would prefer and recommend that you use an old Poolish, 12-18 hours is fine. So if you mix it at 10:00 at night and can’t use it until 1:00 or even 2:00 in the afternoon you are still fine.
It will contribute more flavor than on a shorter timeline.
Does that help? And yes, you can accelerate it in the morning I answered that in a different thread, I’ll see if I can link the two.
