“…Actigraphy is becoming a popular method of assessing total sleep time and movement during sleep, a measure of WASO. 8,13,14 We also included a subjective sleep assessment in our study, as this form of assessment provides valuable information regarding an individual's perception of their sleep. 15,16 Furthermore, subjective sleep estimates tend to differ from objective measurements of sleep, 15,17,18 and therefore it is important for studies to include both assessments when investigating sleep.…”

Objectives. We determined the effect of three consecutive days of sub-maximal-intensity mountain biking (4.5 hours per day, ~64 km per day), on the sleep of ten healthy, trained male and female mountain bikers. Methods. The sleep of the mountain bikers was assessed both subjectively (visual analogue scales and sleep questionnaires) and objectively (activity data logger) on each night of mountain biking and for seven nights when they were not cycling (pre-exercise, mean of seven nights). The cyclists’ mood and muscular pain were assessed each night using visual analogue scales. The cyclists slept at home in their normal environment. Results. There was no significant difference between the mountain bikers’ muscular pain and mood (calm/anxious visual analogue scale) measured during the pre-exercise stage and their pain and mood measured on each of the mountain biking nights (p>0.05). However, compared with the pre-exercise stage, the mountain bikers reported that they were significantly more tired (tired/energetic visual analogue scale) on each night of cycling (p<0.01). The sleep of the mountain bikers was disrupted on the night of the third day of mountain biking only. On this night, compared with the pre-exercise stage, the mountain bikers reported that they woke up more during the night (double the number of times) (p<0.001), and an activity data logger recorded that they were awake for about half an hour longer during the night (p<0.05). Conclusion. We have shown that three days of repeated, endurance sub-maximal mountain biking disrupted the sleep of the mountain bikers on the third night of cycling.

“…Only two studies, used polysomnography, a gold-standard measurement [16,17], where research revealed a longer time to fall asleep (sleep latency), frequent episodes of awakenings, restlessness, and a shorter sleep duration. In recent years, researchers have chosen to use the actigraph as an auxiliary tool to study sleep habits in special populations, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [18], primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) [19] osteoarthritis [20], fibromyalgia [21,22], chronic back pain [23], breast cancer [24], and recently SLE [25].…”

Despite the small number of studies about sleep quality and its possible occurrence in SLE, it is a frequent complaint among patients. This study evaluated sleep quality using actigraphy and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) in 46 women with SLE and the relationship between disease activity, cumulative damage, quality of life, pain intensity, fatigue, and medication to treat the disease, as well as the influence of pain intensity (subgroups) on quality of life. The short-form 36 health survey (SF-36) assessed health related quality of life (HRQoL), the fatigue severity scale (FSS) assessed fatigue, and the visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain intensity. The significance level was 5%. Objective and subjective measures were concordant in sleep latency. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed using categorized VAS pain as a dependent variable, we found an association with sleep latency (actigraphy), PSQI global score, six components of the SF-36 (physical functioning, role physical or role limitations due to physical problems, bodily pain, vitality, social functioning, role emotional or role limitations due to emotional problems), and fatigue. In the final analyses, using multivariate logistic regression, the model showed that the predicting variables for HPG (high pain group) and LPG (low pain group) were sleep latency and fatigue. Perhaps we did not find associations between sleep and quality of life as other factors were more relevant, such as pain and fatigue.

Self-Reported Sleep Quality and Fatigue Correlates With Actigraphy in Midlife Women With Fibromyalgia

Abstract: Self-reported sleep quality and fatigue are associated with behavioral indicators of sleep quality at home in women with FM. Actigraphy is a useful objective measure of improved sleep outcomes in intervention studies.
