Labels within the table reflect the following: X refers to the independent variable (mean sleep time, sleep time variability), Y refers to the dependent variable (BMI, waist circumference), M refers to the mediator (sleep duration), W refers to the moderator (age), and Cx refer to covariates. p-Values in bold indicate a statistically significant effect (p < .05).

BMI, body mass index.
