A comparison of actigraphy and parental reports of sleep habits in typically developing children aged 6 to 11 years
There are limited published data comparing the information provided by parental reports of sleep habits with actigraphic information. This study compares parental report of sleep habits using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire with actigraphic data in 91 typically developing children aged 6 to 11 years. The study found that sleep duration (as measured using actigraphy [ACT]) was longer in children whose parents rated their child as having enough sleep. Parental reports of night wakings did not correspond with ACT measures of night wakings. The findings show that ACT and parental reports provide differing, but complimentary, information about a child’s sleep habits.

Abstract

There are limited published data comparing the information provided by parental reports of sleep habits with actigraphic information. This study compares parental report of sleep habits using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire with actigraphic data in 91 typically developing children aged 6 to 11 years. The study found that sleep duration (as measured using actigraphy [ACT]) was longer in children whose parents rated their child as having enough sleep. Parental reports of night wakings did not correspond with ACT measures of night wakings. The findings show that ACT and parental reports provide differing, but complimentary, information about a child’s sleep habits.
