Where appropriate the standard error of the mean (SEM) is presented in parenthesis;

a

P values from 2 by 2 MANCOVA F test;

b

p < .05, post-hoc Bonferroni test for continuous variables and multivariate logistic regression for nominal variables, while adjusting for age, race, sex, education, BMI, SDB, physical health, and mental health.

c

% refers to the proportion of participants in the respective subgroups; Discrepancy in habitual /next-morning sleep duration = habitual/next-morning sleep duration − objective sleep duration; Overestimation = discrepancy in habitual /next-morning sleep duration ≥ +1.0h; Accuracy = discrepancy in habitual /next-morning sleep duration between -1.0h and +1.0h; Underestimation = discrepancy in habitual /next-morning sleep duration ≤ -1.0h.
