†Predictors and levels entered into the model: wake medications: used in the past month versus not used, sleep medications: used in the past month versus not used, medication with sleepiness as a side effect: used in the past month versus not used, night-shifts: worked versus not. Only variables significantly contributing to the model are included in the table. Model controlled for age and gender.

‡Scores of 5–7 on a seven-point Likert-type scale.

§Created using Maslach’s burnout scale (emotional subscale) – scores of 18+ used to reflect moderate-high burnout.
