Notes. Participant N = 197; Day N = 662.

Participants provided a total of 759 days of useable cortisol data. We removed a total of 97 days of data due to the following: Days without a completed daily interview (n = 1), days with values over 60 nmol/l (n = 50), days with missing time (n = 16), days in which participant was awake less than 12 hours or more than 20 hours (n = 16), and days in which the 30 minute cortisol sample was taken less than 15 minutes after wake or more than 60 minutes after wake (n = 18).
