Figure 1

Total sleep time and sleep latency. (a) Total sleep time is shown by objective measurement (TST) and by subjective diary (s-TST) on nonyoga nights (open boxes) and on Bikram Yoga nights (gray boxes). Each plot shows the median, 25% and 75% quartiles (boxes), mean (plus sign), and 95% confidence range (whiskers). There were no significant differences in subjective or objective TST on yoga or nonyoga days. (b) Sleep latency is shown by objective measurement (SL) and by subjective diary (s-SL) on nonyoga nights (open boxes) and on Bikram Yoga nights (gray boxes). Box and whisker plots are as in (a). There were no significant differences in subjective or objective latency on yoga or nonyoga days.
