Comparison of actigraphy scoring protocols to define the rest interval and optimally derive pediatric sleep dimensions

Introduction: While polysomnography is the established gold standard, technological advances have enabled more resource efficient (cost, time, user-ease) assessment of select sleep dimensions and patterns. Wrist actigraphy is an ambulatory wearable increasingly used in research and clinical settings as it permits unobtrusive measurement of sleep in one's home environment. Previous research analyzed accelerometry data to yield validated algorithms (e.g., Sadeh, Cole) to distinguish sleep/wake epochs.
