Özet
Pregnancy and sleep disorders are strongly correlated. Sleep disorders commonly experienced in pregnancy include insomnia, restless legs syndrome, excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep disordered breathing, for example sleep apnea. Causes can be physical discomfort, hormonal changes, alterations in respiratory physiology and psychological and emotional upheaval. Incidence of the different types of sleep disorders varies depending on pregnancy trimester. The first trimester is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, although this can continue throughout pregnancy. Physical factors such as nausea and vomiting and hormonal changes are important causes. By the second trimester, hormonal changes are stabilising but women may still suffer sleep problems due to enlarged abdomen causing low back pain, abrupt fetal movements, heartburn and nocturia. In the third trimester, the majority of women suffer from sleep problems. Incidence of insomnia and restless legs syndrome reach their maximum. Sleep disordered breathing issues including sleep apnea, snoring and hypoventilation are also more common, influenced by rising progesterone levels, disordered and periodic breathing, excessive weight gain and altered neck circumference. Sleep disorders in pregnancy have been associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Treatment options include improving sleep hygiene, exercise, positional therapy, continuous positive airway pressure, behavioural therapies and, where the sleep disorders are refractory to these types of interventions, short-term pharmacological treatment with suitable hypnotics. Postpartum, many of the pregnancy-associated sleep disorders resolve, however many women continue to experience excessive daytime sleepiness and both pre-and post-partum sleep disorders have been linked to incidence of post-natal depression. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
