Information recorded by actigraphy can be very helpful in investigating for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders, such as delayed sleep phase disorder.
No preparation is required before the test. However, as the test is performed over at least 14 days, we ask that you ensure you do not plan any holidays or undertake any unusual trips or activities during this period.
The aim of the test is to measure your normal activity levels, so it is important to ensure you stick to your usual routine.
The results are analysed by the physiologist once the watch is returned. Our sleep consultant then interprets and reports this
information. The final report will be returned to the referring physician within 10 days of completion.
