Score values of sleep and fatigue scales at baseline (T1) and follow-up (T2), mean ± SD are given in columns 4 to 6. Mean values that score above the clinical cut-off of pathological performing are indicated in bold. Numbers of participants with scores above the clinical cut-off of pathological performing (percentages of patients scoring above cut-off values) are also given in columns 4 to 6, and lower n due to missing values are indicated. Results of group comparisons are given in columns 7 to 8 (F-values; significant differences, p < 0.05, are indicated in bold). Cohen´s d-values for the effect sizes are given in brackets.
