Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Duration in slow wave sleep
Total duration of sleep time spent in slow wave sleep (delta), reported in minutes
Proportion in slow wave sleep
Proportion is the percentage of sleep time spent in slow wave sleep (delta)
Perceived Stress Scale

This questionnaire is on a scale that scores 0-40, with the higher the score being a higher level of stress.
Secondary outcomes
Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9)
The Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) scale used to assess severity of depression. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "not at all," "several days," "more than half the days," and "nearly every day." Total score ranges from 0 to 27 where 0 is no depression, 1-4 is minimal depression, 5-9 is mild depression, 10-14 is moderate depression, and 15-19 is moderately severe depression and 20-27 severe depression.
General Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7)
The General Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD 7) scale to assess severity of generalized anxiety disorder. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "not at all," "several days," "more than half the days," and "nearly every day." Total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 21 where 0 is no anxiety, 1-4 is minimal anxiety, 5-9 is mild anxiety, 10-14 is moderate anxiety, and 15-21 is severe anxiety.
