A new approach for assessing sleep duration and postures from ambulatory accelerometry.

Interest in the effects of sleeping behavior on health and performance is continuously increasing-both in research and with the general public. Ecologically valid investigations of this research topic necessitate the measurement of sleep within people's natural living contexts. We present evide...
