Comparisons were made using paired t-tests.

The sample of actigraphy files assessed in GGIR without a sleep diary was reduced by three participants due to TST being calculated as <2 hours, as per exclusion criteria (n = 832).

The sample of actigraphy files processed in ActiLife was reduced by four participants as there was an error with their data being formatted into 60-second epochs (sample, n= 831).
