Five evidence-based modules covering every stage — first trimester fatigue, positioning, third trimester discomfort, restless legs, and postpartum recovery. India-adapted throughout.
Always discuss sleep changes with your obstetrician or midwife. These modules are educational tools — not a substitute for clinical care during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about symptoms, contact your healthcare team.
Standard CBT-I is modified for pregnancy. Here is what is safe, what is adapted, and what is contraindicated.
Traditional enforced rest with family support is one of the most evidence-aligned postpartum practices globally. Use it intentionally — protect the sleep window within it, manage visitors, and activate family caregiving support for overnight feeds.
Request ferritin, not just haemoglobin, at every OB visit from T2. RLS affects 1 in 4 pregnant women and iron is the primary modifiable cause. Vegetarian Indian diets have lower iron bioavailability — supplementation guidance matters.
T3 in summer months (April–June) significantly worsens sleep. Without AC: wet cloth on forehead, cotton sheets, cold foot soak, strategic fan placement. Hydration (front-loaded before 6pm to reduce nocturia) is especially important in heat.
Shared rooms and late-night family activity require explicit communication about sleep protection. Positioning adaptations for shared beds (wedge pillows, bolsters) and the "mental get-up" instead of leaving the bed are essential tools.
