Adjusted for sampling design.
Logistic regression analysis included age, sex, ethnicity, income, self-reported alcohol use, vehicle type, vehicle speed prior to survey/crash, day and time of survey/crash.
Number of hours slept.
Number of nights of adequate sleep (mostly between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. for 7 h or more).
Witnessed reports of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea (regular loud snoring, breathing pauses, and choking).
Involving paid work starting before 6 a.m. or finishing after midnight whether permanent, rotating or on call.
