摘要

Background and Purpose: Actigraph recorder is a non-invasive method to record data of daily sleep quality. It is rare for studies to compare with the self-reporting and real recording sleep data. The aim of this study was to analyze Actigraph recording data among the athletes with differential self-reporting daily sleep quality. Methods: We recruited 3 athletes, who self-reported to have the habits to sleep for 5, 6, and 7 hours a day at night. They were asked the subjective amount of sleep in the past month before the study. An Actigraph recorder was worn on the wrist and recorded from Sunday evening to next Saturday morning for 10 days. During the weekend, data extraction and battery replacement were conducted. The Sleep Log was also filled every morning and was used to record sleep quality last night. The poor sleep quality is defined as less than 6 hours of sleep, sleep latency (time spent before going to bed to sleep) greater than 30 minutes, and night waking up more than 3 times. Anyone of the three was recorded as poor sleep quality. Results: Three athletes were adult males (ages = 22-27 years old), and all of them completed the study process. The 1-7 nights of poor sleep quality were found among the athletes. The athlete with the habits to sleep for 7 hours a day at night were recorded to have 7 nights of poor sleep quality. The lower sleep efficiency (66.44 ± 10.71 %) and higher average wake after sleep onset (106.32 ± 42.38 mins) were found. Conclusion: Actigraph recorder detected a poor sleep quality as self-reported results and represented a low sleep efficiency. It could help to record and display poor sleep quality. Clinical Relevance: It is important to take care of the sleep quality of athletes, and an Actigraph recorder could be a measuring tool to assess sleep efficiency.
