Note. Tabled values show differences in adjusted means, 95% confidence interval for the difference, p value of the comparison, and the effect size expressed as Cohen’s d.

Number of observations vary according to variable, from n = 299 to n = 321; ISI = Insomnia Severity Index, PSQI = Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PCL-5 = PTSD Checklist-5, and PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Lower values indicate poorer sleep efficiency and greater PSQI scores indicate poorer sleep quality; analyses controlled for the following covariates: age, race/ethnicity, years of education, income, relationship status, and employment status.
