Each value shows the β (95% confidence intervals) associated with the caffeine predictor and sleep outcome from each linear mixed model. Each model covaried for age and sex. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: ****P < .0001, ***P < .001, **P < .01, *P < .05, +P < .10. REM = rapid eye movement, SE = sleep efficiency, SOL = sleep-onset latency, TST= total sleep time, WASO = wake after sleep onset.
