The table shows mean ± SD results from independent samples t-tests and Cohen’s d as a measure of effect size. aParticipants whose actigraphy data did not include at least 2 school nights and 2 weekend nights were excluded of the intraindividual variability analyses, leaving 36 control and 55 gifted participants for these analyses. df = degrees of freedom, MP = midpoint, ie, halfway between bedtime and final awakening, SE = sleep efficiency, SOL = sleep onset latency, TDC = typically developing children, TST = total sleep time, WASO = wake after sleep onset.
