Abstract
Sleep is essential for brain development, but being in a neonatal intensive care unit exposes preterm infants to multiple stimuli and care activities that disrupt their sleep. Monitoring can increase infants' sleep duration and quality by modifying nursing and caretaking behaviours (1). Actigraphy has been validated as a non-invasive and cost-efficient method that can measure activity levels and assess paediatric sleep over long periods (2).
