Note. Standardized regression coefficients are presented. Simultaneous entry of Total Sleep Time-linear term, variability of Total Sleep Time, Wake After Sleep Onset, and Sleep Onset Latency; Total Sleep Time-quadratic term was entered in separate models controlling Total Sleep Time-linear term, variability of Total Sleep Time, Wake After Sleep Onset, and Sleep Onset Latency. All analyses control age, gender, marital status, educational attainment, BMI, and twin status. Analyses of the combined sample additionally control sample membership (predominantly white American sample vs. urban African American sample).

Bonferroni-corrected significance level: P<.0083.

a

coefficients are significantly different (P<.05) in the predominantly white American sample and in the urban African American sample.
