TABLE 3. PSQI for the subjects at baseline during blue-enriched and blue-suppressed light.

  Baseline Blue-enriched Blue-supressed
Sleep quality by gender      
Male: PSQI, total score
 Mean (SE) 4.06 (0.67) 4.31 (1.04) 4.13 (0.97)
 95% clm 2.64–5.49 2.09–6.54 2.06–6.20
Female: PSQI, total score
 Mean (SE) 7.62 (1.14) 5.62 (0.87) 5.85 (0.88)
 95% clm 5.13–10.00 3.71–7.52 4.02–7.67
p value for comparison of genders 0.009 0.361 0.198
Male: comparison to baseline
p value   0.721 0.784
t-Value   0.36 0.28
 DF   15 14‡
Female: comparison to baseline
p value   0.007 0.079
t-Value   3.22 1.92
 DF   12 12

Data are presented as the mean, standard error (SE) and 95% confidence limits (95% clm). At baseline the PSQI was significantly higher for women than in men, thereafter the PSQI was similar for both genders. For females, a significant decrease was found from baseline to blue-enriched conditions, for the change to blue-deprived conditions we also found a decrease, but this did not reach statistical significance.
