I always have seen mid-day appointments as also a luxury for those doing well (at least professionally/financially). If you have to go first thing in the morning, it's often because your boss wants you in relatively early and won't let you take time mid-day. If you're in a position where you can go in at 2PM and not have to sacrifice sleep to do so, that feels healthier.

Given the highly-evident strong circular nature of the body, a hypothesis that it has something to do with that seems highly likely, certainly worth following up on.

Surely your boss legally has to let you attend a health appointment? Though they might not have to pay you. That seems like a very basic workers right, the sort of thing you'd have a general strike over if it didn't exist??
The most vulnerable, at least among those who have a job at least, often have the most draconian restrictions on when and what they can do.

Believe they are being treated like robots. Maybe even literally like gears rented by the hour, not even robots.

Irrelevant to this study given randomization.

I can schedule appointments whenever I want. I'm an early riser and prefer my appointments first thing in the morning.
