Apathphysiological study of sleep disturbance in the postpartumperiod

母亲在产后期间的睡眠表现为睡眠时间短，夜间醒来的次数来自照顾婴儿。根据一项问卷调查的回顾性研究，大多数母亲都能适应产后生活，尽管她们的睡眠时间很短。少数有睡眠问题的母亲不适应，对产后抑郁症、产后抑郁症、婴儿昼夜睡眠-觉醒节律自由运动引起的母亲睡眠障碍的病理生理学研究较少，本研究前瞻性、客观地研究了睡眠障碍，特别是睡眠障碍的发生、发展、睡眠障碍的发生、睡眠障碍的发生等，产妇忧郁症和产妇睡眠来自婴儿的昼夜睡眠-觉醒节律的自由运行。对12名母亲及其婴儿从孕晚期（33和36周）至产后（2、6和12周）进行了多导睡眠图和活动图记录。受试者在参加研究前提供书面知情同意书。的 ...更多信息 结果如下：1、本研究中未发现产妇忧郁。适应母亲的活动与婴儿活动的同步性较强，而我们先前对母亲忧郁症的研究（1998年）表明，不适应母亲的活动与婴儿活动的同步性较弱。母亲跟随婴儿的昼夜睡眠-觉醒节律。与其他母亲相比，母亲在怀孕后期的昼夜睡眠-觉醒节律较长。妊娠晚期的母体节律被认为会影响婴儿的自由奔跑节律。3、我们成功地记录了孕妇睡眠中由胎动引起的微觉醒。微觉醒为孕妇睡眠障碍的研究打开了大门。4、我们成功地通过一种新开发的传感器记录了孕妇睡眠期间的胎动。该系统可用于长期家庭监测胎动。该系统已申请专利。少

Mothers' sleep in the postpartum period shows short sleep time and number of awakenings at night coming from taking care of their infants. According to retrospective studies using a questionnaire, most mothers adapt themselves to the postpartum life, even though their sleep time is short. A few mothers with sleep complaints do not adapt themselves to it. There were few pathphysiological studies on mothers' sleep disturbance in depression of the postpartum period, maternity blues, and sleep disturbance coming from free-running of infants' circadian sleep-wake rhythm.In this study, we prospectively and objectively studied sleep disturbance, especially, maternity blues and maternal sleep coming from free-running of infants' circadian sleep-wake rhythm. Polysomnographic and actigraphic recordings were made from late pregnancy (33 and 36 weeks) to postpartum (2,6 and 12 weeks) on 12 mothers and their infants. The subjects gave written informed consent before participating in the study. The … More results were as follows :1, We did not encounter subjects with maternity blues in this study. Synchronization between mothers' activity and infants' activity is strong on adapted mothers, while non-adapted mother in our previous study with maternity blues (1998) suggested a weak synchronization.2, We found one mother with her infant's free-running circadian sleep-wake rhythm. The mother followed her infant's circadian sleep-wake rhythm. The mother's circadian sleep-wake rhythm in her late pregnancy was long compared with other mothers. The maternal rhythm in late pregnancy was thought to influence her infant's free-running rhythm.3, We succeeded in recording micro-arousals during pregnant women's sleep evoked by their fetal movement. Micro-arousals open the door to studies of pregnant women's sleep disturbance.4, We succeeded in recording fetal movement by a newly developed sensor on maternal abdomens during maternal sleep. This system can be used for a long-term home monitoring of fetal movement. This system is applied for a patent. Less
