Wearable and mobile technology to characterize daily patterns of sleep, stress, presleep worry, and mood in adolescent insomnia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Characterizing daily patterns of sleep, stress, presleep worry, and mood in adolescents with and without insomnia symptomatology.

Design

Two months of continuous wearable tracking and daily diary ratings.

Setting

Free-living conditions.

Participants

Ninety-three adolescents (59 girls; 16-19 years old) with (N = 47; 26 with clinical and 21 with sub-clinical) and without (N = 46; control) DSM-5 insomnia symptomatology.

Measurements

Fitbit Charge 3 tracked sleep, heart rate, and steps. Evening electronic diaries collected ratings of daily stress, presleep worry, and mood.

Results

While sleep duration (control: 6.88 ± 1.41 hours; insomnia: 6.92 ± 1.28 hours), architecture, timing, and night-to-night variability were similar between groups,
