SE, standard error; CI, confidence interval; LL, lower limit; UL, upper limit. Significant effects are in italics. 95% CIs are percentile-based. B and SE are unstandardized, β and 95% CIs are standardized. The Sleep Regularity Index and 24-hour average sleep duration are computed from the daily sleep diary data.
