a

Unless stated otherwise, values are reported in HH:MM. All data pertain to weeknights unless stated differently. Data are expressed as mean (SD).

b

Sleep efficiency: reported in percentages using the following formula: (sleep time/time in bed × 100).

c

Mean values were not reported in manuscript.

d

Did not compare pre-post values for statistical significance.

e

Values are reversed as baseline was during the intervention; negative number indicates improvement.

f

Difference between school day and non-school day wake times.

g

Lower values of the scale are favorable.
