Abbreviations: MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; SED, sedentary behavior.
Values are number (%) or mean ± standard deviation.
Bolded values are statistically significant (p < .05).
Indicates a significant difference from trimester 1 (p < .05).
Indicates a significant difference from trimester 2 (p < .05).
Indicates a significant difference from trimester 3 (p < .05).
Possible score range 0%–100%, higher scores indicate better sleep efficiency.
Possible score range 0–21, higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
Defined as PSQI global score of >5.
