It was only 1953 when the first laboratory sleep studies were initiated with healthy young men as research subjects. Today, we know more about women’s sleep and that poor sleep affects health in many ways. However, we are no closer to understanding the basic function of sleep or how to best intervene to prevent or minimize the adverse health effects of poor sleep. As diurnal creatures, we are meant to sleep when it is dark and be awake when it is light. As experienced shiftworkers will tell you, it is very difficult to work when it is dark, but nurses manage to do so when called upon. Sleep during pregnancy and postpartum poses more of a challenge than even a shiftworker faces, with the start of essentially what becomes a “double shift” maternal role involving scheduled employment during the day and seemingly endless nightly awakenings for infant care.This In Focus series focuses on sleep in selected groups of childbearing families. Rosen reviews the literature on sleep during fetal and infant development and stresses the role of the nurse in providing anticipatory guidance about sleeping arrangements during the couple’s transition to parenthood. What some parents think of as “sleeping through the night” may be defined very differently by their healthcare providers.
