# Standardized-beta was adjusted for age, body mass index, marital status, night shift, sleep disordered breathing, job demand, job control, support from supervisor, support from coworkers, and depressive symptoms.
Model 1: sleep measure is an outcome and testosterone and cortisol are explanation variables adjusted for covariates.
Model 2: sleep measure is an outcome and testosterone, cortisol, and testosterone × cortisol are explanation variables adjusted for covariates.
Model 3: sleep measure is an outcome and testosterone is an explanation variable adjusted for covariates in the low cortisol group.
Model 4: sleep measure is an outcome and testosterone is an explanation variable adjusted for covariates in the high cortisol group.
