Examining The Effect of Chronotype Differences on Sleep Quality and Pregnancy Symptoms in Pregnant Women
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of chronotype differences on sleep quality and pregnancy symptoms in pregnant women.
Methods: Eighty-five pregnant women in the second trimester were included in the study. The chronotypes of pregnant women were determined using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Then, Oral Glucose Tolerance tests were performed on the participants between 24-28 weeks. Also, pregnant women's nausea and vomiting conditions with the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) and sleep quality with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were evaluated.
