The P-values are based on Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-ranks test (PAT, HC) or Mann-Whitney U-test (PAT – HC) for TST, SL, REM/R-latency, WASO and sleep efficiency, for all other variables on paired samples (PAT, HC) or independent samples (PAT – HC) t-tests. Numbers in boldface indicate significant results.
*Definition: R&K: lights out to 3 consecutive epochs S1 or the first epoch of any deeper sleep.
AASM: lights out to first epoch of any sleep.
