Values are presented as % (n) and odds ratio [95% confidence interval]. Model 1: crude associations; Model 2: adjusted for sex, age, BDI-II score, and STAI-Y total score. *P < .05. †Frequent nightmares: >1 episode per week. BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II, IH = idiopathic hypersomnia, ND = not done, NREM = nonrapid eye movement, NT1 = narcolepsy type 1, NT2 = narcolepsy type 2, REM = rapid eye movement, STAI-Y = State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
