Background: Sleep disorder is one of the most common complaints of pregnancy that can lead to maternal and fetal complications. Objectives: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between sleep disorders of pregnancy and abortion. Methods: This study is conducted using a case-control method on 218 women in the age range of 18 -35 years old with singletonpregnancy passing their first or second pregnancy in Ahvaz, Iran. Continuous sampling was conducted on the basis of characteristics of the research unit. The case group (n = 109) included women hospitalized because of an abortion, and the control group (n = 109) consists of pregnant women above 22 weeks, who were referred to healthcare centers to get pregnancy cares. The data collection was done using a demographic questionnaire and pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-22 and t-test for quantitative variables and Chi-Square for qualitative variables. Results: Obtained results from the study showed that there is a significant relationship between abortion and sleep duration (P = 0.000), subjective sleep quality (P = 0.000), sleep latency (P = 0.000), habitual sleep efficiency (P = 0.000), sleep disturbances (P = 0.000), daytime dysfunction (P = 0.000), and total valued of sleep disorder (P = 0.000). However, the correlation was insignificant in case of use of sleeping medication (P = 0.233). Conclusions: According to the obtained results, there is a significant correlation between sleep disorder and abortion. Therefore, training sleep health and suitable consultations during pregnancy would be effective in field of preventing abortion and with the aim of achieving to safe pregnancy.

“…16 Poor and insufficient sleep during pregnancy also places women at risk for depression later in pregnancy 18 and during the postpartum period. [19][20][21][22][23] For most women, the disruptions to sleep continuity are caused by pregnancy factors (e.g., frequent need for urination). 24 However, between 29% and 46% of pregnant women attribute sleeplessness to factors that are not pregnancy specific, such as ''thoughts,'' 25 which likely refers to the experience of being unable to shut off their thoughts and fall asleep, common in insomnia.…”

Background: Poor sleep, common during pregnancy, is associated with negative health risks. The study aimed to identify predictors of clinically significant insomnia among pregnant Latinas. Methods: A total of 1289 pregnant Latinas recruited from obstetric clinics completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and questions about demographics and sleep. Results: Clinically significant insomnia (ISI ‡ 10) was present among 17% of participants. Significant correlates of clinically significant insomnia were higher scores on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) after removing the sleep item (47% of women with EPDS ‡ 9 and 9% with EPDS < 9), completing measures in English (rather than Spanish: 26% versus 13%), and income but not pregnancy week, age, highest education level, or marital status. The highest percentage of clinically significant insomnia (59%) was experienced by women with EPDS ‡ 9 who completed measures in English. The lowest percentage of clinically significant insomnia (6.2%) was experienced by women with EPDS < 9 who completed measures in Spanish. Conclusions: In this sample of low-income, mostly Spanish-speaking pregnant Latinas, rates of clinically significant insomnia appear to be higher than rates among nonpregnant Latinas. Rates of clinically significant insomnia are particularly high among Latinas with elevated depressive symptom severity, a known risk for insomnia. Acculturation, as indicated by completing measures in English, may be another risk specific to Latinas, possibly owing to loss of some ethnicity-specific protective factors (e.g., social support, strong family ties, and group identity). It will be important to directly test this explanation in future research.

“…Several prospective studies document the relationship between sleep disturbance during pregnancy and subsequent reports of depressive symptoms at a later time among perinatal women (later in pregnancy [81] or in the early postpartum period [79,82,83]). The association between poor sleep and subsequent depressive symptoms also holds true when sleep disturbance is experienced during the early postpartum period and postpartum depression develops at a later postpartum time [84,85].…”

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, which is characterized by nocturnal symptoms of difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, and by daytime symptoms that impair occupational, social, or other areas of functioning. Insomnia disorder can exist alone or in conjunction with comorbid medical and/or psychiatric conditions. The incidence of insomnia is higher in women and can increase during certain junctures of a woman's life (e.g., pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause). This article will focus on an overview of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, evidence of effectiveness for this treatment when insomnia disorder is experienced alone or in parallel with a comorbidity, and a review with promising data on the use of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia when present during postpartum and menopause.
