  • aData are mean (SEM); N = 18. Participants' vigilance was scored according to established guidelines as wakefulness, NREM1, NREM2, NREM3, and REM stages on 20-s-long windows (see Materials and Methods). Duration indicates the average time participants spend in each stage. Each trial was attributed a sleep stage defined as the most conservative scoring obtained on a [−2, 8] s window around stimulus onset (% of trials). Marked arousals indicates the mean number of trials that were rescored as wakefulness due to an arousal.
