    "Transcribed selected rows from BLS Tables A-8 and A-9; these are BLS estimates, not a new microdata analysis.",
    "Components can differ from published awake totals by 0.01 hour due to rounding. No residual is reassigned to any category.",
    "Alone and others present refer to physical presence, not feelings, relationship quality or online contact.",
    "No age-group rankings are presented as statistically significant. The source tables do not provide standard errors.",
    "Diary data are absent for September 30–November 11, 2025 due to the federal shutdown. BLS weights adjust for missing days but cannot reveal unobserved behavior during that period.",
    "Household groups shown do not exhaust all living arrangements and have different age bases. Comparisons are descriptive and unadjusted."
