Improved modern devices are increasingly employed to diagnose sleep medicine disorders in the clinical setting. Although less accurate than polysomnography, the chief advantage of actigraphs lies in the cost-effective collection of objective data over prolonged periods of time under everyday conditions. Since the cost of wrist actigraphy is not currently reimbursed, this method has not enjoyed wide acceptance to date. The present article provides an overview of the main clinical applications of actigraphy, including the recommendations of specialist societies.}, language = {en} } @article{RichterPeterRodenbecketal.2020, author = {Richter, Kneginja and Peter, Lukas and Rodenbeck, Andrea and Weess, Hans G{\"u}nter and Riedel-Heller, Steffi G. and Hillemacher, Thomas}, title = {Shiftwork and Alcohol Consumption}, series = {European Addiction Research}, volume = {27}, journal = {European Addiction Research}, number = {1}, publisher = {S.

Shiftworkers sleep less than dayworkers, and 20-40\% of them suffer from difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep, which result in reduced capacity for work and social life. A common coping strategy might be the use of alcohol, which presents a health and safety hazard as it further impairs sleep quality and exacerbates sleepiness in the workplace.
