and use these results to provide a number of measures
from the period. These are described below:
Time in bed: The total elapsed time between the ‘Lights
Out’ and ‘Got Up’ times.
Assumed sleep: The total elapsed time between the ‘Fell
Asleep’ and ‘Woke Up’ times.
Actual sleep time: The total time spent in sleep according
to the epoch-by-epoch wake/sleep categorisation.
Actual sleep (%): Actual sleep time expressed as a
percentage of the assumed sleep time.
Actual wake time: The total time spent in wake according
to the epoch-by-epoch wake/sleep categorisation.
Actual wake (%): Actual wake time expressed as a
percentage of the assumed sleep time.
Sleep efficiency (%): Actual sleep time expressed as a
percentage of time in bed.
Sleep latency: The time between ‘Lights Out’ and ‘Fell
Asleep’.
Sleep bouts: The number of contiguous sections
categorised as sleep in the epoch-by-epoch wake/sleep
categorisation.
Wake bouts: The number of contiguous sections
categorised as wake in the epoch-by-epoch wake/sleep
categorisation.
Mean sleep bout: The average length of each of the sleep
bouts.
Mean wake bout: The average length of each of the wake
bouts.
Immobile mins: The total time categorised as Immobile in
the epoch-by-epoch mobile/immobile categorisation.
Immobile time (%): The immobile time expressed as a
percentage of the assumed sleep time.
Mobile mins: The total time categorised as mobile in the
epoch-by-epoch mobile/immobile categorisation.
Mobile time (%): The mobile time expressed as a
percentage of the assumed sleep time.
Immobile bouts: The number of contiguous sections
categorised as immobile in the epoch-by-epoch
mobile/immobile categorisation.
Mean immobile bout: The average length of each of the
immobile bouts.
Immobile bouts <=1min: The number of immobile bouts
which were less than or equal to one minute in length.
Immobile bouts <=1min (%): The number of immobile
bouts less than or equal to one minute expressed as a
percentage of the total number of immobile bouts.
