  • Factor labels in tests of effects: Group=Intervention vs Control, Time=Baseline vs Post vs Follow-up. Df (df) for Time and Group*time are identical.

  • DBAS, Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep, 0 do not agree—10 do fully agree; Mean, modelled mean values; PSS, Perceived Stress Scale, 0 never—40 very often; SMBQ, Shirom-Melamed Burn-out Questionnaire.
