|---|---|---|---|
| TST at baseline, minutes | 379 (59) | 392 (52) | 0.221 |
| TST on PAP, minutes | 389 (58) | 404 (53) | 0.150 |
| SE at baseline, % | 82.4 (13.1) | 84.9 (11.1) | 0.291 |

| SWS at baseline, % | 16.5 (9.3) | 16.2 (11.6) | 0.886 |
| SWS on PAP, % | 25.6 (11.6) | 22.5 (11.2) | 0.147 |
| REM sleep at baseline, % | 14.9 (5.7) | 14.9 (7.1) | 0.998 |
