Description
Elizabeth Claydon and co-authors follow sleep and movement across pregnancy and the months after birth using a wrist-worn tracker. Their 2024 study recruited eighteen physically active women who were trying to conceive. Sleep quality is known to erode across pregnancy even when total hours hold, bottoming out late in the term.
The strap logged time awake, deep sleep, and daily activity for each woman. On average the group kept its activity level steady through pregnancy and beyond, moving about twenty-one minutes a day and sleeping near seven hours. Time awake rose after delivery. More active minutes, especially vigorous ones, came with more deep sleep during pregnancy. The authors show wearables can catch these shifts without clinic visits.
