  Objectives
  
  This study provides the first investigation into the correspondence between self-reported and actigraph-measured nighttime sleep duration in adolescents that disambiguates between- vs. within-person associations. Moderators were evaluated to determine if between- and within-person correspondence vary by participant characteristics.
  
  Methods
  
  150 adolescents (14–21 yrs) reported sleep time for one week, while wearing an actigraph, and reported on moderators, including demographics (i.e., sex, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status), depressive symptoms, and perceived stress. Mixed effects models evaluated within- and between-person associations between self-reported and actigraph-measured sleep, and examined whether these associations differed by possible moderators.
  
  Results
  
  Results indicated significant between- (b=.77, SE=.08, p<.001) and within-person (b=.51, SE=.04, p<.001) associations between self-reported and actigraph-measured sleep duration, with no significant moderation effects.
  
  Conclusions
  
  Our results support the use of either self-reports or actigraphs to examine within-person nighttime sleep duration in adolescent community samples.
