Hi Joe, while I wouldn't recommend refrigerating the shaped rolls, you could certainly refrigerate the dough in bulk form after a slightly abbreviated (60 minute) first rise. Deflate the dough and place in an oiled bowl with plenty of room to rise. Cover well and refrigerate. If the dough continues to rise significantly in the refrigerator, you might want to gently deflate it again before you go to bed. The next day you can go right to dividing and shaping the rolls from the refrigerator (which will help the dough warm up faster), but allow for a little longer rise time, since the dough will still be cool.
