actisomni estimates sleep from wrist-worn accelerometry. It provides sleep-period-time (SPT) guiders, sustained-inactivity-bout (SIB) labels, consensus sleep labels, diary helpers, and wrappers for the asleep and sleeper machine-learning models.

The guider functions identify a likely main sleep window. Combine one or more guiders with a SIB label when an epoch-level sleep/wake label is needed.

Why not actisleep?

The original package name was actisleep, but that conflicted with a previous R package: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ActiSleep.

Installation

Install the development version from GitHub:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jhuwit/actisomni")

Sleep guiders and labels

For epoch-level activity data, use an activity-based guider such as L5 and then apply a SIB label. The result has one logical sleep label per epoch.

library(actisomni)

time <- as.POSIXct("2020-01-01 18:00:00", tz = "UTC") + 0:1439 * 60
epochs <- data.frame(
  time = time,
  activity = c(rep(20, 240), rep(0, 420), rep(20, 780)),
  sib = c(rep(FALSE, 240), rep(TRUE, 420), rep(FALSE, 780))
)

guider <- acti_sleep_l5(epochs)
epochs$sleep <- acti_sleep_label(epochs$sib, guider)
head(epochs)
#>                  time activity   sib sleep
#> 1 2020-01-01 18:00:00       20 FALSE FALSE
#> 2 2020-01-01 18:01:00       20 FALSE FALSE
#> 3 2020-01-01 18:02:00       20 FALSE FALSE
#> 4 2020-01-01 18:03:00       20 FALSE FALSE
#> 5 2020-01-01 18:04:00       20 FALSE FALSE
#> 6 2020-01-01 18:05:00       20 FALSE FALSE

For raw X/Y/Z acceleration, acti_sleep_sib() calculates the van Hees SIB indicator and acti_sleep_ensemble() combines compatible guiders into a consensus label. The example recording supplied by actiread can be used directly:

library(actiread)

raw <- actiread::acti_read_gt3x(
  actiread::acti_example_gt3x(),
  verbose = FALSE
)
result <- acti_sleep_ensemble(raw, epoch = "5 seconds")

result$label_data

result$labels retains one label per guider, while result$fused contains the consensus probability and logical consensus label.

Diary windows

When diary times are available, create a guider directly from onset and wake times. Times are inclusive at both endpoints.

diary_window <- acti_sleep_diary(
  epochs,
  onset = as.POSIXct("2020-01-01 22:00:00", tz = "UTC"),
  wakeup = as.POSIXct("2020-01-02 06:00:00", tz = "UTC")
)
sum(diary_window$window)
#> [1] 481

Machine-learning model wrappers

acti_asleep() and acti_sleeper() both require complete, strictly time-ordered raw triaxial data. They return the same columns: time, sleep, sleep_probability, sleep_stage, nonwear, and method.

The models and their Python requirements are managed by the upstream packages. For sleeper, download the model files first and provide their directory as model_dir.

asleep_estimate <- acti_asleep(raw, verbose = FALSE)
sleeper_estimate <- acti_sleeper(raw, model_dir = "path/to/sleeper-models")
