Twenty-five young people (Y group), three elderly people and seven people with various sleep disorders (SD group) kept a sleep log for 2-7 days, and their wrist-activity was monitored simultaneously. The sensitivity and specificity of the sleep log, and the ratio of agreement between the sleep log and actigraphic sleep-wake state were calculated. The sensitivity and specificity in Y group were 87.93+/-6.49% and 96.51+/-2.37%, respectively. The sensitivity in SD group was significantly lower than in Y group. Even in Y group one-hour agreement ratios dropped during the sleep onset period.
