The aim of the present work was to analyze possible differences in the wake–sleep and sleep–wake transition in relation to adolescents’ circadian preference using actigraphy. Overall, 729 participants were enrolled in the research and 443 of them wore actigraphs on the non-dominant wrist for at least three nights. According to the reduced Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents cut-off scores, 61 participants belonged to the evening-type category, while 38 participants belonged to the morning-type. We extracted the motor activity counts, minute-by-minute, during the wake–sleep and sleep–wake transitions, to depict the motor wake inertia and motor sleep inertia, respectively. We adopted the functional linear modeling statistical framework to examine the changes in both transitions according to chronotype. Overall, the results show a significantly higher motor wake inertia and lower motor sleep inertia in morning compared to evening types.

Abstract

The aim of the present work was to analyze possible differences in the wake–sleep and sleep–wake transition in relation to adolescents’ circadian preference using actigraphy. Overall, 729 participants were enrolled in the research and 443 of them wore actigraphs on the non-dominant wrist for at least three nights. According to the reduced Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents cut-off scores, 61 participants belonged to the evening-type category, while 38 participants belonged to the morning-type. We extracted the motor activity counts, minute-by-minute, during the wake–sleep and sleep–wake transitions, to depict the motor wake inertia and motor sleep inertia, respectively. We adopted the functional linear modeling statistical framework to examine the changes in both transitions according to chronotype. Overall, the results show a significantly higher motor wake inertia and lower motor sleep inertia in morning compared to evening types.
