Values are reported as mean (standard deviation). PSG = polysomnography; Act-Low = Actiware low threshold algorithm; Act-Med = Actiware medium threshold algorithm; Act-High = Actiware high threshold algorithm.

Sleep onset latency is calculated by a separate immobile minutes algorithm in Actiware and is unaffected by sensitivity thresholds.
