  1. DAY, daytime; NIGHT, nighttime; W_KID, women with children in preschool age; M_KID, men with children in preschool age; RR, RR interval; μRR, mean RR; σ2RR, variance of RR; HF, high frequency; HFRR, power of RR series in the HF band. Results are presented as median. In bracket the interquartile range, calculated as the difference between the first and the third quartile is presented. * indicates p < 0.05 DAY versus NIGHT; # indicates p < 0.05 M_KID versus W_KID.
