Data are presented by mean (SD).

Abbreviations: WC, waist circumference; log TG/HDL-c, logarithm of triglycerides/high density lipoprotein cholesterol; log insulin, logarithm of fasting insulin; MAP, Mean Arterial Pressure; CMRI, Cardiometabolic Risk Index.

Categories of Total Time in Bed represent the 1st, 2nd and 3rd (2), and 4th quartiles. Bonferroni post-hoc test was used in all the pairwise mean comparisons statistically significant as shown in boldface type (p<0.05).

b n = 72.

c n = 43.
