TI  - A pilot study of inexpensive sleep-assessment devices.

AB  - Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard sleep-assessment methodology, is 
      impractical for many applications. Although alternative assessment methodologies 
      are available, it is not clear which most correlates with PSG measures. This 
      study compared sleep log (SL), actigraphy (ACT), and the REMview (RV) device for 
      estimating PSG sleep measures. Thirty-three participants with various 
      sleep-disorder diagnoses underwent 1 night of monitoring with PSG, RV, ACT, and 
      SL. RV provided accurate estimates of most sleep variables. The accuracy of ACT 
      and SL estimates depended on the sleep variable. These findings indicate that the 
      selection of an alternative methodology should consider the sleep measure of 
      interest in addition to the relative merits and drawbacks of each device.
