  1. OR, odds ratio
  2. Crude OR calculated as discordant pairs. For example, 3.19 = (22 + 29)/(10 + 6) from Table 2
  3. *From a conditional logistic regression, accounting for both control periods ('day before' and 'week before') and adjusted for marijuana use, and sleep deprivation
  4. †CI, confidence interval
