Assessing the Efficacy to Conduct the Multiple Sleep Latency Test With Actigraphy

摘要: This study explored the efficacy of 1 actigraphy (ACT) brand, at different analytic settings, for use to administer Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT). Forty-one first-time postpartum mother and father participants were administered MSLT with concurrent ACT. To identify ACT sleep onset latency (SOL), signals interpreted iterations “wake threshold value” (WTV) “immobile minutes onset” value (IMV) settings. The ACT–SOL values compared MSLT–SOL values. WTV settings did not affect ACT–SOL, but significantly differed each ACT–IMV setting. consistently identified SOL too soon; however, future research, along technological innovation, may a viable methodology conduct an ambulatory MSLT.
