Separation of awake sedentary time and sleep. Self-reported bed times (grey blocks) were overlaid upon movement and heart rate data and manipulated (if necessary) to coincide with objective markers of sleep. Markers of sleep initiation were the beginning of sustained low levels of movement and a steady decline in heart rate, markers of awakening were movement initiation after long periods of very little movement, together with an abrupt increase in heart rate. In this example, the sensor was attached on Friday and removed the following Tuesday.
