a

Regression models adjusted for age, sex, free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, and racial/ethnic categorization (non-Hispanic white vs Hispanic or not white); school ID included as a random effect due to students nested within schools.

b

Weekend night-school night sleep duration difference refers to the difference in weekend night and school night sleep duration (weekend night duration – school night duration), so that a positive difference corresponds to longer duration on weekend nights compared to school nights and a negative difference corresponds to a shorter duration on weekend nights.

c

Objective height/weight data used when available.
