Hierarchical hand-scoring approaches remain the standard for actigraphy rest interval estimation, but can be impractical for large cohort studies and suffer from reproducibility problems. We developed a semi-automated pipeline (actiSleep) to set rest intervals consistent with best-practice hand-scoring algorithms incorporating event marker, diary, light, and activity data. To evaluate actiSleep performance, we used data from an observational study of 51 adolescents (14-19yr), with and without family history of bipolar disorder. Participants completed 2 weeks of wrist actigraphy and daily sleep diary. We first hand-scored records using a standardized hierarchical algorithm incorporating event marker, diary, light, and activity data. We then compared the hand-scored rest intervals to those from actiSleep and two automated activity-based algorithms (\u2018Activity-Merged\u2019, \u2018Activity-Only\u2019). Activity-Only used activity-based sleep estimation and Activity-Merged joined closely adjacent rest intervals. For rest onset, rest offset, and rest duration, all algorithms had strong mean agreement with hand-scoring: actiSleep estimates were within 1-3 minutes, Activity-Merged within 2-4 minutes, and Activity-Only within 7-14 minutes. However, actiSleep had notably better (narrower) margins of agreement with hand-scoring, as evidenced by Bland-Altman plots, and greater positive predictive value and true positive rates for rest detection, especially in the 60 minutes surrounding the onset and offset of the rest interval. The actiSleep algorithm successfully estimates actigraphy rest intervals comparable to hand-scoring while avoiding pitfalls of activity-only algorithms. actiSleep has potential to replace hand-scoring for research in adolescents but requires further testing and validation in other samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.64898\/2026.03.05.26347744","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,6]],"date-time":"2026-03-06T19:00:18Z","timestamp":1772823618000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Performance of a Semi-Automated Hierarchical Rest Interval Detection Pipeline (actiSleep) for Wrist Actigraphy in Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3172-1815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriane M.","family":"Soehner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Kissel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brant P.","family":"Hasler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Clinical and Translational Science Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter L.","family":"Franzen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica C.","family":"Levenson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Clinical and Translational Science Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duncan B.","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Buysse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meredith L.","family":"Wallace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Statistics, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2026030912501361000_2026.03.05.26347744v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/15.5.461"},{"key":"2026030912501361000_2026.03.05.26347744v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/17.3.201"},{"key":"2026030912501361000_2026.03.05.26347744v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-31266-z"},{"key":"2026030912501361000_2026.03.05.26347744v1.4","unstructured":"Oakley N.
