Definition and distributions of the sleep quality parameters.

<p>For the sleep study, all estimates are given for the level of the individual (i.e. average over two weeks).</p

Exposure ranges of the longitudinal study for all study participants (n = 955): ranges in power flux densities to different exposure sources for all included study participants at follow-up survey and the change in exposure levels between baseline and follow-up.

<p>For the change analysis we compared the participants with the 20% largest exposure increase and decrease between baseline and follow-up survey with all other participants, who experienced a smaller or no change of exposure between baseline and follow-up survey (no relevant change).</p>a)<p>n = 389 at baseline (cohort analyses) and n = 245 at follow-up (change analyses).</p>b)<p>equal values due to the use of categories in the questionnaire.</p

Overview on the two study components.

a)<p>After exclusion of nightshift workers (n = 89) and users of sleeping drugs (n = 81).</p>b)<p>1 person was excluded because of sleeping drug consumption during all 14 nights.</p

Characteristics of the study participants of the longitudinal study at follow-up (baseline data are presented in Mohler et al. 2010 [24]) and of the participants of the nested sleep study.

a)<p>Data may not sum up to 100% due to missing data.</p>b)<p>Answering yes to either “Are you electro hypersensitive?” or “Do you think that you develop detrimental health symptoms due to electromagnetic pollution in everyday life?”</p

Results of the longitudinal analysis on daytime sleepiness score: Diamonds refer to the change in sleep score and the horizontal lines mark the 95% confidence intervals.

<p>An increase in score refers to an increase in daytime sleepiness. * indicates statistical significance. All models are adjusted for age, body mass index, stress level, physical activity, noise annoyance (all linear), sex, alcohol consumption, belief in health effects due to RF-EMF exposure, smoking status, degree of urbanity, moving house between the two surveys (all binary), educational level, marital status (categorical). ^a) for a subsample of 363 (225) subjects who consented that we receive data from the operator at baseline (follow-up). ^b) In the change analysis a decrease and increase in exposure refers to the participants with the 20% largest exposure decrease and increase between baseline and follow-up survey. No relevant change includes all other participants, who experienced a smaller or no change of exposure (reference group).</p

Change of sleep duration (in hours) and sleep efficiency (in %) (95%-confidence interval (CI)) for various exposure measures from the nested sleep study.

a)<p>adjusted for: age, percent fulltime equivalent, bedtime (derived from diary) (all linear), sex, body mass index (<25, ≥25), smoking status, weekday (weekend vs. workday), presence of a bed partner, alcohol intake within 4 hours before going to bed (diary), physical activity during the day (diary), sleeping during the day (diary) (all binary), and educational level (3 categories).</p>b)<p>The division into the exposure categories was done on the individual level.</p
