Notes: Age & Education in years; Sex: 0 = male, 1 = female; Physical Activity (kCal/week); BMI (kg/m2); Smoking (Y: current smoker; N: never smoker, tried it, ex-smoker); Avg Sleep = weighted average of weeknight and weekend sleep duration (hours); Avg sleep is mean centered in all models; rs6198: a glucocorticoid receptor SNP with an A to G substitution. ‘rs6198’ is coded as 1 (GG), 0 (AG), and −1 (AA).
