  1. GS: good sleeper; IWLM: insomnias with a low mismatch; IWHM: insomnias with a high mismatch. The statistical value H represents the use of a Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric analysis among three group using a Bonferroni correction for post-hoc analysis, while the statistical value F represents the use of a one-way ANOVA using the least significant difference test for post-hoc analysis
  2. aP < 0.05 versus GS. There was no difference between the IWHW and IWLW groups
