Sleep quality rating is measured on a 1–5 Likert scale, with higher values representing poorer quality sleep. b is the regression coefficient, CI is the confidence interval. Covariates included: 2018 per capita household income, some college, college graduate, gender, marital status, decade of age, home-ownership status, have children at home, and neighborhood lived in. Those employed during the pandemic without a reduction in work hours were the reference group. The regression uses attrition weights.
