1 Idea nr. = The number of the generated idea in this group. This corresponds with the numbers on the concept maps in Appendix A. 2 Merged into main idea = The overall main idea to which the original idea of this group is assigned. 3 Mean = mean importance rating on a 5-point Likert scale based on the question: ‘Think about your sleep, how much does this affect your sleep?’ answered on a 5-point Likert scale from ‘does not affect at all = 1’ to ‘affects a whole lot’ = 5’. Bold values indicate ideas rated as important (with a rating ≥3.00); Cursive values indicate the overall mean rating per cluster.
