Model 1: Adjusted for age, gender, parental BMI, parental education, parental employment, biological background of the parents, family composition, home-situation, television in bedroom and set daily routine for bedtime;

Model 2: Additionally adjusted for frequency of taking breakfast, sugared drink consumption, physical activity and screen time;

Model 3: Additionally adjusted for weekend (A) or week (B) sleep duration.

Note that model 3 was not run for average sleep duration, since it comprises both weekday and weekend day sleep duration.
