Characteristic All participants
(n = 3201)
Participants without excessive sleepiness*
(n = 2402)
Apnea-hypopnea index – per 10 events/hour 1.15 (1.04, 1.26) 1.17 (1.02 1.33)
P < 0.01 P = 0.02
Usual sleep duration – per hour less sleep 1.13 (1.01, 1.28) 1.22 (1.05, 1.43)
P = 0.04 P < 0.01
Excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale score ≥ 11) 1.54 (1.15, 2.07)
P < 0.01

Values are odds ratio (95% confidence interval), adjusted for age, sex, and miles driven per year

*Absence of excessive sleepiness defined as Epworth Sleepiness Scale Score ≤ 10
