To use wrist-actrigrphy to collect objective measures of sleep and to characterise actigraphy-measured sleep patterns among children with disabilities.
Studies employing objective measures of sleep have reported varying results.
Few studies used objective measures of sleep, so efficacy could not be assessed.
This study examined the relationship between level of CPAP compliance and change in polysomnographic measures of sleep apnea severity.
However, little is known about the dose response relationship between CPAP compliance and measures of sleep apnea severity.
Outcome measures include subjective and objective measures of sleep, clinician-administered PTSD and depression scales, inflammatory cytokines, and salivary cortisol.
To compare subjective and objective measures of sleep in traumatic brain injury patients (TBI) suffering from insomnia and in controls.
The study strengths include a large sample of patients with well-characterized BD, as well as dimensional measures of sleep, personality, psychosocial stress, and behavioral measures.
First, a factor analysis model was applied to the large number of daytime measures of sleep quality in order to detect their latent structure.
To investigate self-report measures of sleep disturbances and sleep-related impairments in samples of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) or spinal cord injury (SCI).
While those measures of sleep quality are either subjective or unrevealing of actual sleep quality, the actigraph readings are actually a pretty good measure of sleep quality.
