Measuring sleep duration in adolescence: Comparing subjective and objective daily methods.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study provides the first investigation into the correspondence between self-reported and actigraph-measured nighttime sleep duration in adolescents that disambiguates between- versus within-person associations.
