Table 1.

Participant instructions during awakenings on sleep fragmentation night.

1. “Pick up the baby doll, remove her onesie, change her diaper with the diaper provided, and then put her onesie back on.” (5 min - participant was standing during the procedure).
2. “Sit in the rocking chair and pretend to feed the baby doll with the bottle provided until I instruct you to stop.” (15 min – participant was seated)
3. “Pretend to burp the baby while remaining in the rocking chair.” (5 min – participant was seated)
4. “Stand up and gently place the baby doll back down on the spare bed.” At this point, the participant used the bathroom (if needed) and the researcher replaced any PSG sensors that had fallen off. The participant was then helped back into bed.
