Intake and sleep assessment

Whether you experience sleeping problems or not, we always conduct an actigraphy examination to gain insight into the sleeping pattern. There are certain factors that can influence the quality of your sleep. An example of this is blue light, which you are exposed to when using smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, LED_ and fluorescent lighting. Over-exposure to blue light in the evening – especially before bedtime – causes our bodies to stop producing the sleep hormone melatonin, a substance that we need to go to sleep. This can lead to reduced sleep quality. Sleep rhythm, sleep hygiene and activity can also affect our sleep quality. When we don’t sleep well, it can affect our mood and other daily activities and can aggravate or prolong certain symptoms.

The graph on the right shows an example of sleep research data measured over 7 days. It visualizes sleep patterns, activity level and the amount of blue spectrum light in the environment of the person wearing the watch. It indicates whether sleep is consistent or disturbed by certain factors. Based on this data, we will look at how you can positively influence your sleep, which will be incorporated into your personal treatment plan.
