Bolds indicate significant associations (p < 0.05)

a β and 95% CI estimated using linear regression models adjusted by variables listed in the table, the baseline behavior (before the COVID-19 lockdown) of the dependent variable and post-stratification survey weights.

b Based on a Likert scale from 1 = difficulties to sleep, waking up several times during the night or feels uncomfortable when trying to sleep (frequent caught, moving, remove the blanket), to 7 = sleep without difficulty and in short time, sleep well throughout the breath well and sleep deeply. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in bold.

c Significant (p < 0.05) trend within strata categories.
