Cardiovascular and psychometric outcomes, with ranges in parentheses. Heart rate, blood pressure, excitement, and alertness are averages of morning and afternoon sessions, and change scores are deltas between morning and afternoon. Therapy and sleep durations are totals over the day. There were no significant differences between conditions for any outcome
