Session Overview

Studies describing the effect of disrupting daily rhythms on gestation length has been conflicting, typically due to the ways in which rhythms have been measured. Surveys and sleep diaries are easily implementable, however provide a limited timeframe of measurement and subject to recall bias. The rising use of wearable devices for both research and clinical applications has resulted in efforts to quantify sleep-wake patterns and their variability. We chose to compare multiple metrics of rest-activity variability. This lecture will focus on a deep analysis of sleep in a highly diverse pregnant population to explore whether disruptions in maternal rhythms are associated with preterm birth. 

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, attendees should be better able to:

  • Explain the role of circadian rhythms in pregnancy. 
  • Illustrate how disruptions in circadian rhythms can influence pregnancy outcomes
  •  Summarize ways to measure circadian behavior in pregnant women.
