Each beta value represents the estimated difference in the value of the executive functioning for each one hour increase in sleep duration

Model 1: Unadjusted

Model 2: Adjusted for subject characteristics (age, gender and preterm status)

Model 3: Adjusted for subject characteristics and socio-economic measures (caregiver education, household income and neighborhood median income)
