Outcome | 0.5 SD Pre-Test Mean | Difference Between Pre- and Post-Test Means* | Clinically Significant? (Difference ≥ 0.5 SD?) |
---|---|---|---|
Sleep quality (PSQI) | 1.6 | 2.7 | Yes |
Sleep duration (h)** | 0.6 | 0.6 | Yes |
Insomnia symptoms (ISI) | 2.3 | 3.6 | Yes |
Sleep behaviors (SHI) | 4.2 | 4.2 | Yes |
Daytime sleepiness (ESS) | 2.9 | 0.7 | No |
Notes: Data presented are means ± SD. PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) measures perceived sleep quality over the past month; higher values indicate worse sleep quality. *Absolute values. **Sleep duration (h) was extracted from the PSQI. ISI (Insomnia Severity Index) measures perceived insomnia symptoms over the past two weeks. SHI (Sleep Hygiene Index) measures the frequency of engaging in behaviors that do not support sleep. ESS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) measures recent likelihood of excessive daytime sleepiness.
