Regression models of the health behaviors include the sleep duration and chronotype variables as well as the controlling variables of sex, race, college attendance, and employment. General linear regression models were used for continuous outcomes (physical activity, screen-based sedentary behavior, fruit intake, and vegetable intake) while logistic regression was used for the outcome of tobacco use)

NS non-signficant at the 0.05 level

The reference category for sleep duration is long sleep duration (nine or more hours). The reference category for chronotype is late chronotype
