AIS athens insomnia scale

P values were calculated by student t test for sex, age, and depressive status

P values were calculated by one-way ANOVA for sleep quality

Non-parametric tests were used when distributional assumptions were in doubt

The results that are statistically significant are typed in bold

Asterisk indicates statistically significance with p-value < 0.05
