What is the best time for pregnant women to sleep?

Many friends who are pregnant have suffered certain physical and mental effects due to not arranging their sleep time properly. For example, not arranging their sleep time properly causes physical fatigue and listlessness. So what time is the best time for pregnant women to go to bed? Let’s learn about it together.

The best form of rest for pregnant women is sleep. Proper sleep can relieve fatigue and restore physical and mental strength. If you don't get enough sleep, it can cause excessive fatigue, loss of appetite, malnutrition, decreased body resistance, increased chances of infection for pregnant women and fetuses, and cause a variety of diseases. However, the length of sleep varies from person to person. Some people can restore their physical strength and energy after sleeping for only 5 to 6 hours, while others need more time. Normal people need 8 hours of sleep. Pregnant women undergo a series of special changes in their bodies and are prone to fatigue, so the sleep time can be extended by 1 hour. Generally, it should be at least 8 hours. In the late stages of pregnancy, in order to stay energetic, you should also take a nap of about an hour at noon. If conditions do not permit, you should at least lie down and rest for half an hour. Pregnant women should not work more than 8 hours a day and should avoid working night shifts. When you feel tired at work, if conditions permit, you can take a break for about 10 minutes, or go outdoors, to the balcony or rooftop to breathe fresh air. Pregnant women who maintain a working posture for a long time can change their posture from time to time, such as stretching their arms and moving their feet, to relieve fatigue. In addition, a leisurely walk is also a good form of rest, such as insisting on taking a walk in a nearby park, square, stadium, field, wide road or country road after dinner. It is best for couples to travel together and chat in private. In addition to relieving fatigue, it is also a good way to regulate and maintain a good mental state for pregnant women, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of both pregnant women and fetuses. But the journey should be moderate and you should avoid catching a cold, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Above we know what time is best for pregnant women to go to bed. Friends should remember to pay attention to their sleep and health. Especially for many pregnant friends, paying more attention to rest during pregnancy is the key, and the same is true in life.
