Why not immerse in the early morning on erev Rosh Hashana?
Chaye Adam 138:5 writes:
וראוי לכל אדם לטבול במקוה או בנהר ולא יקדים לטבול עד שעה קודם חצות היום
In my own translation:
It's seemly for every man to immerse in a ritualarium or a river [on the day before Rosh Hashana]. But he should not be so early as to immerse prior to an hour before noon.
(This is cited in Mishna B'rura 581:26 with no further explanation.)
Why not go earlier in the morning?
