Cognitive status was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) followed by short interbal time estimation via time production and reproduction with reaction time measurement using TimeProd software. Findings indicated significant disruptions in circadian rhythms in COPD patients, characterized by lower mesor, amplitude, and autocorrelation coefficients compared to controls. Patients also reported poorer sleep quality and higher sleep fragmentation, with 85.7% displaying cognitive impairment. Notably, longer time estimations, increased variability in task performance, and slower reaction times suggested cognitive deterioration. Positive correlations emerged between rhythm parameters (amplitude and circadian quotient) and cognitive performance metrics.

Here, we propose that evening individuals may exhibit a weaker preference for naturalness compared to morning individuals due to their greater exposure to artificial lighting, technology, and stimuli. To systematically test our theoretical perspective, we conducted three complementary and high-powered studies. In an online survey (Study 1), student participants with a stronger evening orientation displayed a diminished preference for natural drugs compared to those with a morning orientation. Using a sample of community adults, Study 2 replicated the findings of Study 1 in a real-world, behavioral context.
