P-value is from a t-test on the paired data for difference. P-values for paired t-test on absolute difference was also significant.

TST = total sleep time, WASO = wake after sleep onset, SE = sleep efficiency, PSG = polysomnography, PIM = proportional integration mode, TAT = time above threshold, ZCM = zero crossings mode, SD = standard deviation, CI = confidence interval, ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient
