AUDIT = Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, BMI = body mass index, DBAS-16 = Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale, DHS = Daily Hassles Scale, ESS = Epworth Sleepiness Scale, FIRST = Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test, PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire, PSS = Perceived Stress Scale, SAMI = Sleep Associated Monitoring Index, SPS = Sleep Preoccupation Scale.

*ANOVA (or Fisher’s exact) p-value from test of equal means (or %) across groups. All of the variables arrayed above as median values were arrayed in this manner owing to skewed distributions with p-values from Kruskal–Wallis test.
