Assessing the sleeping habits of patients in a sleep disorder centre: a review of sleep diary accuracy.

Conclusions: The clinically acceptable accuracy has no universal definition, so clinicians must use experience and reasoning to determine this level to interpret this data. The review suggests that some variables are entered with high accuracy, and the diary is low cost and adds subjective information that cannot be gathered from actigraphy. Therefore, use is recommended to continue alongside actigraphy. PMID: 29445542 [PubMed]
