ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To describe the changes in sleep pattern throughout pregnancy and to evaluate the relationship between sleep and adverse perinatal outcomes.

METHODS: Pregnant women at Qianfoshan Hospital completed questionnaires regarding their sleep during each of the three trimesters. Additionally, a subset of participants engaged in objective sleep monitoring using actigraphy devices. In the perinatal period, the following data were collected: pregnancy complications; gestational age; mode of delivery; Apgar scores for the neonate; and birth weight.

RESULTS: The total night sleep time in the second trimester was about 15 minutes shorter than that in the first trimester (P=0.024), and about 31 minutes shorter in the third trimester than in the second trimester (P<0.001). The sleep efficiency in the second trimester was about 10.23% lower than in the first trimester (P<0.001), and the efficiency in the third trimester was about 5.16% lower than in the second trimester (P<0.001). The occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) was associated with sleep duration (P=0.019), sleep efficiency (P<0.001) and PSQI scores (P<0.001) in the first trimester. Furthermore, the mode of delivery was also found to be associated with sleep duration (P=0.011), sleep efficiency (P<0.001) and PSQI scores (P<0.001) in the first trimester.

CONCLUSION: With the development of the pregnancy process, the sleep situation gets worse. Pregnant women’s sleep situation in the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with the occurrence of PIH and delivery mode.
