Poor sleep in pregnancy could lead to complications
Los Angeles, July 18: Scientists have shown that inadequate sleep during pregnancy can lead to complications and hinder normal immune processes, says a study.
Women with depression are more likely than non-depressed women to suffer from disturbed sleep and adverse pregnancy outcomes, reports Science Daily.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine conducted the research and the study was published in the journal "Psychosomatic Medicine".
"Our results highlight the importance of identifying sleep problems in early pregnancy, especially in women experiencing depression, since sleep is a modifiable behaviour," said Michele Okun, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at Pitt's School of Medicine and lead author of the report. "The earlier that sleep problems are identified, the sooner physicians can work with pregnant women to implement solutions."
There is a dynamic relationship between sleep and immunity, and this study is the first to examine this relationship during pregnancy as opposed to postpartum," added Dr. Okun.
