Table 3.
Women’s nightly activities from self-report. Activities ranked from most to least commonly reported by tertiles of sleep onset time. Post-dinner activity profiles are more similar across tertiles among women than among men. Household chores and watching TV were associated with later sleep onset time. Note that the unit of measure for this analysis is a single evening, and a single participant could potentially contribute data points to all three quantiles.
