Very premature birth and the necessary hospitalization expose to a risk of morbidity and mortality which impacts the neurodevelopmental prognosis. Sleep and behavior monitoring have not been developed in the neonatal units. This has to be improved since it is known from clinical and animal studies that the quality, organization and quantity of sleep in very preterm infants impact neurological development and brain plasticity. The collection system provide neonatal care nurse with access to motion curves (evaluated by signal processing of live video) and real-time infrared video (also available in low-light conditions). This new non-invasive technology allows an evaluation of the activity cycles of the newborn by the caregivers which until now was only accessible occasionally by short recordings of actigraphy or polysomnography. The investigators wish to demonstrate that this can contribute to an organization of care that respects the sleep patterns of the newborn, which they know to condition the neurodevelopmental prognosis.
