  1. SR was defined as the average cumulative sleep loss of 2.5–3.5 h relative to individual sleep need across restriction periods. Severe SR was defined as average cumulative sleep loss exceeding 3.5 h. Sleep rebound was defined as the average extra sleep more than 0 h relative to individual sleep need across post-restriction periods. SR duration was quantified as average cumulative sleep loss relative to individual sleep need across restriction periods, using the 2.5-h SR threshold. Sleep rebound duration was calculated as the average extra sleep relative to individual sleep need across post-restriction periods. Baseline sleep duration was defined as the sleep duration on nights excluding restriction and post-restriction periods.
