  • Perception of poor sleep may predict postpartum mood

    Updated: 2010-04-11 20:33:56
    A study of healthy new mothers in the April 1 issue of the journal Sleep observed that the perception of poor sleep and the conscious awareness of its impact on daytime functioning might be stronger predictors of immediate postpartum mood disturbances than actual sleep quality and quantity.
