Changes in Sleep Characteristics and Breathing Parameters During Sleep in Early and Late Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Few studies have objectively evaluated sleep characteristics during pregnancy or investigated the relationship between altered spectral electroencephalogram (EEG) bands and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The study aimed to describe changes in sleep as measured by polysomnography (PSG) and spectral EEG bands during pregnancy and to examine the relationship between delta power in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and SDB.

Methods

This is a secondary analysis of a prospective study. One hundred twenty-three women underwent full PSG in early pregnancy, and 97 repeated PSG in late pregnancy. Spectral analysis of the EEG in NREM sleep was performed. We used linear and logistic mixed-model regression to analyze the sleep measures and linear regression to explo
