Summary
Although sleep is measurable, the assessment of insomnia does not typically rely on using objective measurements. Nevertheless, there may be circumstances where objective assessment is warranted. This chapter describes the role of and place for objective estimates of sleep such as polysomnography, actigraphy, commercially available personal devices, and physiological assays, and weighs up the evidence for these.
