WASO, wake after sleep onset; N1%, percent of stage 1 NREM sleep; N2%, percent of stage 2 NREM sleep; N3%, percent of stage 3/4 NREM sleep). The corresponding t-test score, (t) and probability, (P) value for control versus RLS group comparison for the individual PSG values are in the far right column. ns = P > 0.2.
