Comparing actigraphy and diary to measure daily and average sleep in firefighters: a Bland-Altman analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

This study sought to examine the relationship between actigraphy and the Consensus Sleep Diary to contribute information on their concurrent validity in a sample of career firefighters.

Methods

Sixty firefighters were recruited from a large, urban fire department in the southwest United States that utilizes a fire-based emergency medical services system and a 5/6 shift schedule. A total of 329 differences were recorded during participants' 6-day between-shift recovery period.
