Note 366 days (Level 1) nested within 122 individuals (Level 2). Wake time within-person centered and all continuous Level 2 predictors grand-mean centered. Non-compliance dummy coded (1 = not compliant with saliva sampling procedures). White race/ethnicity dummy coded (1 = White). Outcomes calculated from log-based cortisol values (μg/dl). Bold indicates significant findings in support of hypotheses
