Comparison of longitudinal PSQI and actigraphy-assessed sleep from pregnancy to postpartum.

ABSTRACT: Despite the importance of sleep for perinatal health, there is limited research examining whether different measurement modalities may yield inconsistent data from pregnancy through postpartum. We aimed to: 1) describe how sleep patterns change across pregnancy and postpartum using self-report PSQI and actigraphy measures and 2) determine the level of correspondence between these two measurement modalities. Pregnant women from the Stress and Health in Pregnancy and Postpartum (SHIPP) study completed visits during the 3rd trimester, 4-6 weeks postpartum, and 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months postpartum. At each study visit, participants completed questionnaires and wore wrist-actigraphy (Actiwatch 2) for one week prior to each visit. Self-reported global sleep quality was measured with the
