Notes:

a

Multiple pairwise comparisons using Tukey’s honest significant difference test;

b

weekday bedtime (time) + weekday sleep opportunity;

c

Followed a bedtime routine + Tried to fall asleep at about the same time every night + Woke up at about the same time every morning;

d

Problems sleeping because too noisy + Problems sleeping because too hot or too cold + Problems sleeping because too much light.
