  1. MEQ-HO Morningness and Eveningness Questionnaire, PSQI Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, ESS Epworth Sleepiness Scale, TST Total Sleep Time, IS Inter-daily Stability, IV Intra-daily Variability. F value and p value of the one-way ANOVA test are presented in the last column. Holm–Sidak post-hoc results are expressed before the group means that yield statistically significant higher values.
