Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic factors, month of questionnaire completion and sleep duration.
As evidence of this, we had excellent compliance with the completion of sleep diaries by all participants, and many women in the usual care group (n=81, 79%) reported that they liked keeping a sleep diary.
Finally, three post-therapeutic evaluations (at two weeks, one month and three months) were carried out by an independent assessor and included the completion of a sleep calendar as well as different clinical evaluation scales.
A fasting blood sample was drawn on the morning after completion of the sleep study.
Mice were tested in the Porsolt forced swim test at least 72 h after completion of the sleep analysis.
The analyses were adjusted for annual income, education, marital status, month of questionnaire completion, urban/rural residence and sleep duration.
The purpose of the adaptation period was to ensure that the subjects were able to tolerate nCPAP for a minimum of 4 hours during completion of a third sleep study (Trial 2).
A two-way analysis of variance in conjunction with Student-Newman-Keuls post hoc test was used to determine if differences in mean arterial blood pressure existed between groups during wakefulness and NREM sleep during completion of the preliminary study.
It was proposed that these delayed ("off-line") gains in performance reflect neuronal memory consolidation processes that are triggered by the training experience within the processing stream involved in task performance, but require time, and often sleep, to reach completion [13], [16], [18].
The interview involved the completion of 3 questionnaires evaluating sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue.
