Comparison of actigraphic and reported sleep measures of children with nocturnal enuresis and the control subjects

Actigraphic Measures Children with NE Control Children F (Z)
    Nighttime awakenings, no. 3.2 ± 1.5 2.4 ± 1.3 7.1a
    Longest sleep period, min 154.3 ± 53.8 186.4 ± 70.0 4.7a
    Motionless sleep, % 58.6 ± 10.0 64.3 ± 9.3 6.6a
    True sleep time, min 502.3 ± 51.3 516.2 ± 43.0 n.s
Sleep Diary Measures
    Nighttime awakenings, no. 1.0 ± 0.6 0.5 ± 0.5 19.9c
    Sleep latencyd 2.0 ± 0.6 1.5 ± 0.9 2.5b
    Morning sleepinesse 1.5 ± 0.4 1.3 ± 0.5 1.8a
    Evening sleepinesse 2.1 ± 0.4 1.5 ± 0.6 3.9c

Data are displayed as mean ± SD. F value is based on analysis of covariance for all measures expect for the measures marked by a and b, which were analyzed using nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Z). NE refers to nocturnal enuresis.

a

P < 0.05;

b

P < 0.01;

c

P < 0.0001

d

0 refers to < 5 min; 1, 5-14 min; 2, 15-30 min; 3, > 30 min.

e

0 refers to very alert; 1, somewhat sleepy; 2, very sleepy.
