Values represent the effect of model coefficients on HR, LF, HF, and LF/HF, displayed as the mean (± SEM) deviation from the intercept (i.e. wake before sleep onset). HR, heart rate in beats per minute; LF, low frequency power in ln(ms2/Hz); HF, high frequency power in ln(ms2/Hz); REM, rapid eye movement sleep.

1Wake before sleep onset.

2Transition from deep to light sleep.
