CI, confidence interval; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.

a

Least square mean estimates and confidence intervals derived from analysis of covariance models. All models adjusted by baseline values

b

PSQI score inversely related to sleep quality; improvement shown as negative change

c

P values using Winsorized (98–99th percentile) values, change values using raw values.
