N = 15. Paired-t test, 2 tailed, with Beferroni correction alpha = .05/8=.006 for polysomnography, and for perceived sleep and sleep quality, respectively.

a

n = 14, 1 subject was excluded from whole night PSG sleep due to technical problem.

b

Sleep efficiency = total sleep time/time in bed * 100.

c

Sleep period time = total sleep time + wake after sleep onset.
