  1. *Each feature is averaged across all 30-s epochs in a specific sleep stage to represent a whole night, then concatenated over all the sleep stages to represent a whole night; this is where × 5 comes from.
  2. ^For the main model, sleep features were extracted from sleep EEG central channels only.
