  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation
  2. Sleep quality is classified as “1” for very poor, “2” for poor, “3” for fair, “4” for good, and “5” for very good to evaluate the quality of usual sleep
  3. Sleep timing is divided into six subgroups: (1) 0–4 AM, (2) 4–8 AM, (3) 8–12 AM, (4) 12–16 PM, (5) 16–20 PM, and (6) 20–24 PM based on usual sleep onset time
  4. SD standard deviation
