  1. aThe total score of global PSQI ranges from 0–21 with a score of 5 or more indicating poor sleep quality
  2. bThe hygiene index score ranges from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep hygiene practices
  3. cThe sleep knowledge score ranges from 3–15. A higher score indicates better knowledge. The sleep intention score ranges from 1–5 with a higher score indicating a better intention to sleep the recommended hours
  4. dThe frequency of dietary habits ranges from 0–7
  5. emeans a significantly different mean score of males compared to females. Each of the sleep quality subdomains yields a score ranging from 0 to 3, with 3 indicating the greatest dysfunction
