The good sleep pregnancy guide for men and women
Now
you’re pregnant, you have to make the most of your 270(ish) remaining nights of
uninterrupted sleep!
If only it were that simple… because, for a large majority
of pregnant women, sleep is an elusive dream. You guessed it: the main culprit
is hormones! Large amounts of progesterone coursing through your system mean
fatigue in early pregnancy and problems sleeping in later pregnancy. It has
also been reported that the sleep you have inclines more towards the less
restful REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage. Because of this, and the physical
problems associated with sleeping in pregnancy, it’s important that you do all
in your power to make sure you fight the sleep snatchers!
