q3 · i? · associational · r2

Descriptive actigraphy statistics from the week of monitoring in 160 adolescents; the authors interpret that "compensatory bouts of shorter and longer sleep over the week may obscure associations between sleep duration and working memory".

"Intra-individual nightly variation (i.e. standard deviation over all valid nights23,25) in sleep (1.2 ± 0.7 h) and rest durations (1.4 ± 0.8 h) over the week was also quite high"
