  1. T1: baseline, T2: 4 months from T1, T3: 7 months from T1. aThe lower score, the better sleep quality. bThe higher score, the more sleep disturbance
  2. $P-values were derived using Chi-square statistics for categorical variables (sleep duration) and two-sample t-tests for continuous variables (sleep quality and sleep disturbance)
