Methodological issues for studying the rest-activity cycle and sleep disturbances: a chronobiological approach using actigraphy data.

abstract：:Research that uses a psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) framework seeks to determine whether valid associations exist among stress, immune function, and health. These associations are difficult to conclusively determine due to the fact that PNI research is fraught with methodological difficulties. These difficulties arise fr...
