Notes: Differences in performance on psychomotor vigilance testing (PVT) the day after study intervention nights (Disruptive or Enhancing) and Sham. All models include order (of condition presentation), condition*order, time of task administration, and condition*time. aAnalyzed using linear mixed model; includes RT ≥ 500 ms (lapses) but not RT < 100 ms (false starts). bAnalyzed using generalized linear model with Poisson distribution. cReaction time ≥ 500 ms. dReaction time < 100 ms. Differences in performance on psychomotor vigilance testing (PVT) the day after study intervention nights (Disruptive or Enhancing) and Sham. Analyses interpreted as statistically significant are indicated with p-values in bold (p < .05).

Abbreviations: RT, reaction time; SEM, standard error of the mean.
