Fragmented Sleep is linked to Cognitive Function Decline in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
Author(s): Kerry Madvin* and Anne Kat
Sleep quality deteriorates frequently in late pregnancy. In accordance with these findings, a minor objective
cognitive decrease in pregnant women has been discovered in earlier investigations by other researchers. For the

pregnancy would contribute to cognitive impairment. The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the
Medical University of Warsaw recruited 19 pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy for the study,
and 20 non-pregnant women served as controls. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale vocabulary subtest, the D2
Attention Test, the OSPAN task (Operational Span Task), autography to look at sleep patterns, and questionnaire
were used in the assessment. .. View More»
