Note. TD = typically developing; JIA = juvenile idiopathic arthritis; TST = total sleep time; WASO = wake after sleep onset; SE = sleep efficiency; min = minutes; SQ = sleep quality reported in sleep diary; bedtimes and wake times are presented as 24-hr clock.

Group fixed effect was entered as TD-0, JIA-1; child age was entered as a fixed effect.

Cohen’s d was calculated based on the individual sleep data averaged across the study period; +medium effect size, ++large effect size.
