TST = total sleep time; Anxiety score = Score on the STAI-Y; SDMT = Symbol Digit Modality Test;

SRT = Simple Reaction time.

Regression analyses were also conducted with participants who met sleep apnea criteria (AHI > 5, n = 5) removed. Results remained similar across all cognitive tasks, therefore these participants were retained in in the study sample.
