Fig. 2. Bedtime and wake-up time of patients with cirrhosis, chronic renal failure (grouped by sleep complaints), and healthy controls are plotted against the values of the Horne-Ostberg questionnaire (chronotypology profile). Results expressed as means ± SEM. *Cirrhotic patients with unsatisfactory sleep show a delayed bedtime, a delayed wake-up time, and a lower score (evening type) in this questionnaire compared with their satisfactory sleep counterparts (P < .05).
