For good sleepers, change scores were computed between T1 and T3. For insomnia symptoms and syndrome incident cases, change scores were computed between baseline and T2 for those who developed difficulties at 6-month follow-up and between baseline and 12-month follow-up for those who developed difficulties at 12-month follow-up.

For those variables, an increment (positive delta) indicates a poorer functioning and a decrement (negative delta) indicates a better functioning.

3

For the SF-12 subscales, an increment (positive delta) indicates a better functioning and a decrement (negative delta) indicates a poorer functioning.

4

for those variables, a negative delta indicates a decrement of the event frequency and a positive delta indicates an increment of the event frequency. Note: Means with different subscripts are significantly different on the contrast test.
