Abbreviations: min, minutes; h, hours; w, week; MDD, major depressive disorder; d, day.

Results are presented as β (confidence interval) in minutes. Sample sizes: time in bed N = 5055, sleep duration N = 5842, sleep proportion N = 4866. Sleep proportion = nighttime sleep duration/time in bed. Each linear regression model includes all the above factors. All variables were concurrently measured from 2006 to 2007, except for social class, education, MDD and shift work, which were defined at baseline.
