Notes: EDSS = Expanded Disability Status Scale; BMI = Body Mass Index; BDI-FS = Beck Depression Inventory; Fast Screen; ISI = Insomnia Severity Index; ESS = Epworth Sleepiness Scale; RLS = Restless Legs Syndrome; SDB = Sleep-disordered breathing; PA = physical activity. REM = rapid eye movement; WASO = wakening after sleep onset. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01. Always Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients.
