Mothers' and infants' poor sleep quality during the postpartum period has been associated with mothers' depressive symptoms; however, links between mothers' sleep quality and postpartum anger are unclear. This study aimed to determine proportions of women with intense anger, depressive symptoms, and comorbid intense anger and depressive symptoms, and to examine mothers' and infants' sleep quality as correlates of postpartum anger.
