PSQI-J, the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; GI, glycemic index; GL, glycemic load; Q: quintile.

a

Linear regression analyses were used to assess the linear trends between sleep duration and each PSQI-J component score across the quintiles of starchy food intake, dietary GI, and dietary GL by using the median value of each quintile.
