Table 1. Sleep patterns and dream recall.

Low: Low screen time; High: High screen time group; P value<0.01 for Efficiency, Dream Recall Frequency, Night Wakings (per week), and Daytime Sleepiness (%), are derived from independent samples t-tests for Sleep Efficiency, Night Wakings, and Daytime Sleepiness, while a chi-square test or Fisher's exact test have been used for Dream Recall Frequency, all indicating statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) between the two groups.

Variables Low Screen Time Level (N, 500) High  Screen Time Level (N, 500)  
Sleep Efficiency (Mean ± SD) 90% ± 5% 75% ± 5%
Dream Recall Frequency (Mean ± SD) 70% (at least once a week) ± 15% 30% (regular dream recall) ± 10%
Night Wakings (per week) (Mean ± SD) 0.5 ± 0.2 1.5 ± 0.5
Daytime Sleepiness (%) (Mean ± SD) 20% ± 10% 60% ± 20%
P-Value (Mean ± SD) <0.01 <0.01
