CI confidence interval, IQR interquartile range, Q1 lowest quartile, Q4 highest quartile, Ref reference, TIB time in bed, TST total sleep time.

aModel 1 included age, sex, race (Caucasian vs. other), body mass index, smoking status, apnea hypopnea index with 4% desaturation, sleep time with saturated oxygen below 80%, stroke, myocardial infarction, hypertension, diabetes, and physical functioning standardized score on the Short Form 36 Health Survey.

bModel 2 included Model 1 plus antidepressants, benzodiazepines, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, number of daytime naps per week, weekend-weekday difference in habitual sleep duration, insomnia or poor sleep, and percent time in rapid eye movement sleep.

cModel 3 included Model 2 plus TIB in TST/TST-restfulness models or TST in TIB/TIB-restfulness models.

dP = 0.22 for interaction between categorical TST and sleep restfulness variables.

e P = 0.28 for interaction between categorical TIB and sleep restfulness variables.
