  1. Stanford-Sleepiness-Scale score before training (SSS_training) and before retest (SSS_retest); N number of participants, BDI Beck-Depression-Inventory, EHI Edinburgh-Handedness-Inventory, RMT Resting Motor Threshold, MEPpre individual stimulation intensity to elicit MEPs of ~ 1 mV at baseline. All values (excluding sex and number of participants) are displayed as mean ± standard deviation.
