Figure 4 Clinical, PSG, and cardiac correlates of sleep quality and of misperception. Notes: (A) Box and whiskers plot showing the distribution of sleep efficiency (%) for prespecified categories of sleep quality. Bracket indicates significance (Mann–Whitney, P<0.003). (B) Box and whiskers plot showing the distribution of misperception of TST (subjective minus objective TST, in minutes) for prespecified categories of sleep quality. Bracket indicates significance (Mann–Whitney, P<0.0001). (C) Correlation coefficients reaching the predefined minimum value of |>0.1|, with the sleep quality value across the cohort. The P-values are all <0.005. (D) Correlation coefficients reaching the predefined minimum value of |>0.1|, with the TST misperception value across the cohort. The P-values are all <0.005.

Figure S1 Examples of HR slope assessments from clinical PSGs.
Notes: In (A) and (B), the scored hypnogram is shown above the HR tracing derived from the pulse oximetry signal as visualized through the Grass software. The HR units (Y-axis) are in beats per minute. The color scheme of the stages is the same as in of the main text. Stages are indicated on the Y-axis. Time base is given for an 1 hour increment (and hash marks on the X-axis are 30 minutes apart). For each sleep–wake stage bout of 35 minutes (“stable” bouts), the calculated best fit line is super-imposed on the HR trace (black lines).
Abbreviations: HR, heart rate; PSGs, polysomnography; REM, rapid eye movement; W, wake.
