Objective To examine the relationship between postpartum physical activity and maternal sleep. Design Systematic review with random-effects meta-analysis. Online databases were searched through 20 January 2025. Study eligibility criteria Studies of all designs (except case studies reviews) in languages eligible if they contained information on population (individuals up to 1 year post partum); interventions/exposures (including subjective or objective measures frequency, intensity, duration, volume type exercise, alone (‘exercise only’) combination other intervention components (eg, dietary; ‘exercise+co-intervention’)); comparator (low no activity) outcomes: sleep quality, latency, efficiency, disturbance fatigue. Results 12 unique (n=3096) from nine countries included. Moderate certainty evidence showed that exercise-only interventions associated a greater improvement quality (five randomised controlled trials (RCTs), n=375, standardised mean difference (SMD) −0.44, 95% CI −0.79 –0.09) compared exercise. High exercise daytime/general fatigue (six RCTs, n=535, SMD −0.56, −1.06 –0.05) No effect was found for disturbance. Conclusion Postpartum improves

Changes in sleep and dreams are often observed during pregnancy. Dreaming may represent privileged access to the inner world of individuals, providing relevant information about their well-being. For this reason, a growing but heterogeneous literature has investigated dream experiences pregnant women. The present paper aimed systematically review available evidence on relationship between pregnancy oneric activity, focusing nightmare frequency, contents, emotional features. Moreover, changes pre-partum post-partum periods impact previous pregnancy-related adverse events dreaming have been summarized. Overall, 17 studies examined. reviewed suggests that women tend an abundant production nightmares pregnancy, some results support view high rate recall is associated with poor quality. Most shown presence content, likely reflecting waking concerns. Additionally, promote psychological preparation activation functional coping strategies face life after childbirth.

The role of prolactin in sleep regulation has been the subject extensive research over past 50 years, resulting identification multiple, disparate functions for hormone. Prolactin demonstrated a characteristic circadian release pattern with elevation during dark and diminution light. High levels were linked to non-rapid eye movement electroencephalogram delta activity humans. Conversely, hyperprolactinemia showed strong correlation REM rodent studies. may be implicated alterations female patterns observed reproductive cycle, it play enhancement following stress sleep-related immunological processes. In conclusion, appears have sleep-promoting role, particularly phase. However, does not appear central coherent regulation, as some neuropeptides such orexin. its principal function facilitate situational, yet adaptive, changes response challenging physiological phases, those associated stress, challenges, or cycle. Neuronal substrates prolactin-mediated effects remain unknown; however, recent studies provide insights into potential sites these effects.
