1 Based on students’ self-reported hours of sleep 2 Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: 6 subcomponent scores were calculated from the questions. Ranges of the subcomponents were 0-3. All subcomponents were added to create a final Sleep Quality Score. Scores could range from 0-18. Higher scores indicate lower quality of sleep 3 Caffeine Survey Score: All answers to questions in Lynch’s Caffeine Survey were given a numerical value 0-8 (0=Never, 8=5 or more servings per day). Scores for each question were added for a total Score. Ranges could be from 0 to 48. Higher scores indicate higher caffeine intake. 4 Answers for the Caffeine Survey were combined to create 4 categories as follows • Never: Reported “Never” consuming those beverages • Low Intake: Reported consuming a beverage/supplement less than once per week, 2-3 per
week, or 4-6 per week. • Moderate Intake: Reported consuming a beverage/supplement once or twice daily. • High Intake: Reported consuming a beverage/supplement 3-5 or more times per day.
