Using actigraphy to assess sleep and wake rhythms of narcolepsy type 1 patients: a comparison with primary insomniacs and healthy controls

It has been shown that actigraphy may have discriminant function (DS) for the diagnosis for narcoleptic type 1 patients (NT1) based on the combination of nighttime and daytime parameters. Here, we aimed to test those findings using another actigraph model with a different clinical sample as control (i.e., primary insomniacs, PI), carrying out a secondary analysis of previously collected data.
