WHtR = Waist Circumference (cm) to Height (cm) ratio; Model 1 = GEE regression adjusted for age and sex.

Model 2 = GEE regression adjusted for age, sex, school decile, ethnicity, F&V recommendation and number of screens in the bedroom.

Model 4 = GEE regression adjusted for age, school decile, ethnicity, F&V recommendation and number of screens in the bedroom.

1Expected change in mean BMI z-score for every hour increase in sleep.

2Expected percentage change in mean body composition for every hour increase in sleep.

3Significant sex by sleep variable interaction observed in Model 3 (See Figure 2 for model results that include a significant interaction term for Average Sleep Duration).
