Abstract

Sleep disruptions are common in pregnancy and can have significant maternal and infant health consequences. Management of sleep using a personal health monitoring (PHM) device may be effective in promoting behavior change and contribute to improved pregnancy-related sleep. The purpose of this pilot, randomized controlled trial was to determine the feasibility of recruitment (i.e., recruiting a 20% minority sample, most successful recruitment methods), retention, adherence, and data collection methods with a sample of pregnant women (n = 24) at 24 weeks gestation for a 12-week intervention using a PHM device. Of 24 enrolled participants, 20 (83%) were retained through the 12-week intervention and the follow-up at 2-4 weeks postpartum. The majority of participants had a four-year education and identified as White. Ninety-one percent (n = 11) wore the device for at least ten weeks. Pregnant women may be willing engage in sleep intervention research and wear a PHM to self-monitor sleep during pregnancy. Future research should consider recruitment methods tailored to recruit diverse populations of pregnant women.
