The role of actigraphy in the study of sleep and circadian rhythms.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in the clinical setting, actigraphy is reliable for evaluating sleep patterns in patients with insomnia, for studying the effect of treatments designed to improve sleep, in the diagnosis of circadian rhythm disorders (including shift work), and in evaluating sleep in individuals who are less likely to tolerate PSG, such as infants and demented elderly.

The Role of Actigraphy in the Study of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SLEEP MEDICINE REVIEW PAPER

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the current knowledge about the role of actigraphy in the evaluation of sleep disorders and concluded that actigraphys can provide useful information and that it may be a cost-effective method for assessing specific sleep disorders.
