*P value for non-linear trend was estimated by including a quadratic term for sleep duration variable.

aMultivariable-adjusted model adjusted for age, caffeine intake, sex, T-stage, N-stage, ECOG performance status and alcohol consumption.

bMultivariable-adjusted model adjusted for age, caffeine intake, sex, T-stage, N-stage, ECOG performance status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, smoking status, any neuropathy or grade 3+ toxicities during follow-up, and relative dose intensities of fluorouracil and oxaliplatin.
