Table 1.
Median and Range of Number of Bouts per Sleep Episode per Subject for the Forced Desynchrony Protocol Data.
| Young | Older | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median | Range | Median | Range | |
| Wake | 2.2 | 1.4–5.1 | 9.2 | 2.9–15.2 |
| Sleep (NREM + REM) | 2.9 | 2.2–5.6 | 9.7 | 3.3–15.5 |
| NREM Sleep | 10.1 | 8.6–11.1 | 12.3 | 7.5–15.9 |
| REM Sleep | 8.2 | 7.1–9.9 | 7.0 | 4.4–10.5 |
The median and range (minimum-to-maximum) of the average number of bouts per sleep episode per subject across all sleep episodes in the forced desynchrony protocol. Note that only data from sleep episodes with <5% missing data are included in this table; data from all sleep episodes are included in the survival analyses. One older subject and seven young subjects had at least one sleep episode with zero Wake bouts; overall, 0.4% of all older subject sleep episodes and 10.2% of all young subject sleep episodes had zero Wake bouts. Because the data are not normally distributed, we have not reported the mean, standard deviation, or t-test probabilities of differences.
