“…Perinatal sleep disturbance is associated with PND (Bhati & Richards, 2015;Lawson et al, 2015;Swanson et al, 2020), with disturbed sleep cited as a risk factor for postnatal depressive symptoms (Okun, 2016), and also mothers' postpartum psychological distress found to predict poorer sleep quality (Cohen et al, 2022). Longitudinal studies have sought to clarify pathways linking sleep and PND, concluding that sleep difficulties after the birth of a child may increase the risk of depression, contributing to a vicious cycle between impaired sleep and the persistence of depression (Saxbe et al, 2016).…”

Postnatal depression (PND) is an important public health problem with far-reaching consequences for mothers, families, and society. Current treatment approaches tend to focus on the depressive symptoms of the mother. We propose the need for a shift in the conceptualisation of PND and its management, by focusing on circadian rhythm as an early manifestation of mother-infant synchrony. We have reviewed the relevant interdisciplinary literature to formulate a hypothesis and suggest recommendations for practice. We hypothesise that, after a mother’s circadian rhythm becomes ‘desynchronised’ immediately following birth, persistence of this disruption is implicated in the development of PND. This has important implications for novel treatment strategies in the critical and vulnerable postnatal period, for example the use of outdoor-based interventions and light.
