Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between sleep patterns during pregnancy and the risk of preterm birth, focusing on self-reported sleep duration and timing.
- Data from a cohort of over 10,000 women were analyzed, with findings showing that short sleep duration did not significantly correlate with preterm birth, but late sleep timing (after 5 am) was associated with higher rates of preterm birth.
- Women who reported going to sleep later in early pregnancy had a preterm birth rate of 9.5%, while those who slept earlier (5 am or before) had a lower rate of 6.9%.
