Evaluation of Inpatient Sleep and Activity Following Childbirth
Sleep is critical to mental and physical health following childbirth. However, patients who are hospitalized for labor and delivery may be admitted for days with significant impacts on sleep levels. Little is known about sleep and activity levels in inpatients during nighttime and daytime following childbirth and how this may affect their mental and physical health and wellbeing. If abnormalities are identified, targeted interventions may be possible to optimize recovery following delivery.
