Sleep Measure | Acronym | Units | Abbreviated | Measurement | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sleep Onset Latency | SOL | Minutes | mins | Derived | Number of minutes from Time at Lights Out to Time at Sleep Onset |
Sleep Onset Time | SOT | Time of day | hh:mm | Directly measured | Time of day when the first epoch of sleep occurs between Time at Lights Out and Time at Wake |
Total Sleep Time | TST | Hours and Minutes | h:min | Derived | Number of minutes from Time at Sleep Onset to Time at Wake, minus number of minutes awake (WASO) |
Wake After Sleep Onset | WASO | Minutes | mins | Directly measured | Number of minutes awake after Time at Sleep Onset |
Wake Time | WT | Time of day | hh:mm | Directly measured | Time of day when awake with no further Sleep Duration |
Sleep Efficiency | SE | Percentage | % | Derived | Sleep Duration divided by Time in Bed multiplied by 100 |
Time in Bed | TIB | Hours and Minutes | h:min | Derived | The total time spent in bed, from Time at Lights Out to Time at Wake |
Sleep Onset Variance | SOV | Hours and Minutes | h:min | Derived | Can be calculated using standard deviations or by using the sleep regularity index (SRI) |
Wake Variance | WV | Hours and Minutes | h:min | Derived | Can be calculated using standard deviations or by using the sleep regularity index (SRI) |
