  1. Categorical variables are presented as percentages (95% confidence interval). Sleep duration and age are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Bold entries indicate a significant p-value.
  2. DH: drug history; CVD: cardiovascular diseases; RLS: restless leg syndrome; OSA: obstructive sleep apnea.
  3. *People who cannot attend school at the proper time, upon their willingness, can attend educational courses for adults called Nehzat.
