Indicative pairwise statistical comparisons and correlations of the summarized patterns (features) across the three cohorts.

aPTSD: posttraumatic stress disorder.
bIV2: intraday variability (1440 min).
cStatistically significant associations (at the P=.05 level) are italicized. We present five indicative summarized patterns that exhibit the largest correlation magnitudes for the binary comparisons between groups. The negative signs in the correlations indicate that the summarized pattern generally exhibits lower scores for the first group in the comparison. Correlations with a magnitude over 0.3 are considered statistically strong. Further details are presented in Multimedia Appendices 1 and 2 (Multimedia Appendix 2 presents all the investigated variables).
dWASO: wake after sleep onset.
