ActigraphyReal-World Sleep Monitoring
A simple, non-invasive sleep test using a watch-like device to track sleep and activity patterns over time. Provides valuable insights into your natural sleep-wake cycle in your everyday environment.
What is Actigraphy?
Actigraphy is a simple, non-invasive sleep test that uses a small, watch-like device worn on the wrist to track sleep and activity patterns over time.
Typically worn for 7 to 14 days, the device continuously records movement to estimate when you fall asleep and wake up, total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, circadian rhythm patterns, and periods of restlessness or wakefulness during the night. You continue your usual daily routines while wearing the device, providing a real-world, unobtrusive assessment of your sleep behaviours.
Why Choose Actigraphy?
IPD recommends actigraphy when you or your clinician need comprehensive sleep pattern evaluation
Insomnia Assessment
Evaluate trouble falling and staying asleep over extended periods.
Circadian Rhythm Disorders
Identify patterns in conditions like Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.
Lifestyle Sleep Disruption
Monitor sleep issues linked to stress, shift work, or lifestyle changes.
Pediatric Sleep Issues
Long-term observation of sleep patterns in children.
Treatment Monitoring
Track sleep patterns before or after treatment interventions.
Actigraphy is particularly useful when standard overnight tests do not reveal clear issues, or when long-term monitoring is needed to understand sleep variability.
