We compared performance of four popular interpretative algorithms (IAs), i.e., Cole-Kripke, Rescored Cole-Kripke, Sadeh, and UCSD, utilized to derive sleep parameters from wrist actigraphy data. We conducted in-home sleep study of 40 healthy adults (17 female/23 male; age 26.7 ± 12.1 years), assessing sleep variables both by Motionlogger® Micro Watch Actigraphy (MMWA) and Zmachine® Insight+ electroencephalography (EEG). Data of MMWA were separately scored per 30 sec epochs by each of the four popular IAs, and data of the Zmachine were also scored per 30 sec epochs by its proprietary IA. In reference to the EEG Zmachine method, all four of the MMWA algorithms showed high (~94 to 98%) sensitivity and moderate (~42 to 54%) specificity in detecting Sleep epochs. All of them significantly underestimated Sleep Onset Latency (SOL: ~9 to 20 min), and all of them, except the Sadeh IA, significantly underestimated Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO: ~22 to 25 min) and overestimated Total Sleep Time (TST: ~32 to 45 min) and Sleep Efficiency (SE: ~7 to 9%). The Sadeh IA showed significantly smaller bias than the other three IAs in deriving WASO, TST, and SE. Overall, application of 'Rescoring Rules' improved performance of the Cole-Kripke IA. The Sadeh and Rescored Cole-Kripke IAs exhibited highest agreement with the EEG Zmachine method (Cohen's Kappa: ~51%), while the UCSD IA exhibited lowest agreement (Cohen's kappa: ~47%). However, minimum detectable change across all sleep parameters was smallest with use of the UCSD IA and, except for SOL, largest with use of the Sadeh algorithm. Findings of this study indicate the Sadeh IA is most appropriate for deriving sleep parameters of healthy adults, while the UCSD IA is most appropriate for evaluating change in sleep parameters over time or in response to medical intervention.

Background: Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder affecting millions worldwide, with significant impacts on daily functioning and quality of life. While traditionally assessed through subjective measures such as the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the advent of wearable technology has enabled continuous, objective sleep monitoring in natural environments. However, the relationship between subjective insomnia severity and objective sleep parameters remains unclear.

Objective: Sleep deprivation and reduced sleep quality are common in adolescents and negatively impact their physical and mental wellbeing. This study evaluates the effect of a participatory-developed school-based healthy sleep intervention for adolescents.
Method: A 16-week long intervention, cocreated with adolescents, was conducted with two schools with four schools serving as measurement-only controls.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may lead to heart rhythm abnormalities including bradycardia. Our aim was to ascertain clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with OSA in whom severe bradycardia was detected in an outpatient setting, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of CPAP therapy on heart rate normalization at the early stages of treatment.
Methods: Fifteen patients mild, moderate or severe OSA and concomitant bradycardia were enrolled.

Background: Seafarers are exposed to a variety of job-specific physical and psychosocial stressors. Health promotion on board is of great importance for the salutogenesis of this occupational group. Due to the difficult accessibility of seafarers, electronically supported health management can be highly valuable.

The recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients after successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) appears to be an unresolved clinical issue and needs to be clearly elucidated. There are many factors associated with AF recurrence, such as duration of AF, male sex, concomitant heart failure, hemodynamic parameters, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, hyperthyroidism, smoking and obesity. However, the inflammatory changes are strongly associated with electrical and structural cardiac remodeling, cardiac damage, myocardial fibrotic changes, microvascular dysfunction and altered reparative response.
