  1. Legend. Abbreviations n: total number, SD: standard deviation, min: minutes taken to respond to each survey. SW-T: shift workers with tailored EMA prompts, SW-S: shift workers who received standardized prompts, NSW-S: non-shift workers with standardised prompts. Differences with Kruskal Wallis test between the groups are statistically significant (p < 0.05)
