“…The effect of health behavior educations on the depression in pregnant women with sleep disorder might be consistent with results of current research. The present study also confirmed the result of a pilot study on efficacy of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality in working women (38) that demonstrated significant association between sleep hygiene education and improved participants’ sleep quality. Influence of sleep health behavioral education on recovery of depression was consistent with current research.…”

Background:About 79% of the pregnant women experience sleep disorders and 70% of pregnant women experience some symptoms of the depression. Physiologic, hormonal, and physical changes of pregnancy can predispose mothers to depression these disorders before, during, and after childbirth and might be aggravated by neglecting health behavior. Health behavior education might be useful for the management of depression in pregnant women.Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sleep health behavioral education on the improvement of depression in pregnant women with sleep disorders.Patients and Methods:This study was a randomized clinical trial, performed on 96 pregnant women with sleep disorder diagnosed according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Tools for data collection included demographic questionnaire and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). Easy and accessible sampling was done. Participants were randomly (simple) allocated to intervention and control groups. In intervention group, sleep health behavior education was presented during a four-hour session held in weeks 22, 23, 24, and 25; then the patients were followed up to fill out the BDIQ in follow-up session at weeks 29 and 33 of pregnancy. The control group received no intervention and only received routine prenatal care. The results were assessed by Chi-square tests, independent-samples t-test, and Fischer’s exact-test by SPSS 16.Results:A statistically significant change was reported in the severity of depression in pregnant women with sleep disorders in the intervention group in comparison to the control group at weeks 29 (P < 0.000) and 33 (P < 0.00).Conclusions:Sleep health behavioral education improves depression in pregnant women who are experiencing insomnia. Findings from this study add support to the reported effectiveness of sleep health behavioral education in the prenatal care and clinical management of insomnia in pregnancy.

“…For example, intervention strategies that focus on some of the specific risk factors identified in this analysis might include: (a) education about sleep hygiene and medication evaluation for persistent sleep problems (Chen et al, 2010); (b) empirically-validated therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (Butler et al, 2006) can be implemented to help women to enhance adaptive attributions like optimism (Carver et al, 2010); (c) self-activation strategies are often helpful in coping with the functional effects of fatigue (Simon, 2006); and (d) the development of more adaptive coping strategies through the use of CBT (Butler et al, 2006), Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) (Bell and D’Zurilla, 2009) , or Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) (Cuijpers et al, 2011), can be utilized to help women cope with life stress and the emotional sequelae of depression.…”

“…Relatively few studies have investigated the efficacy of sleep hygiene interventions in nonclinical samples. 16-20 Overall, this work has provided some preliminary support for the use of sleep hygiene education in nonclinical populations, but the findings are inconsistent. Taken together with findings in clinical samples, these data raise an interesting question.…”

Summary The ineffectiveness of sleep hygiene as a treatment in clinical sleep medicine has raised some interesting questions. If it is known that, individually, each specific component of sleep hygiene is related to sleep, why wouldn't addressing multiple individual components (i.e., sleep hygiene education) result in improved sleep? Is there still a use for sleep hygiene? Global public health concern over poor sleep has increased the demand for effective sleep promotion strategies that are easily accessible to the general population. However, the extent to which sleep hygiene principles and strategies apply outside of clinical settings is not well known. The present review sought to evaluate the empirical evidence for several common sleep hygiene recommendations, including regular exercise, stress management, noise reduction, sleep timing regularity, and avoidance of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and daytime napping, with a particular emphasis on their public health utility. Thus, our review is not intended to be exhaustive regarding the clinical application of these techniques, but rather to focus on broader applications. Overall, though epidemiologic and experimental research generally supported an association between individual sleep hygiene recommendations and nocturnal sleep, the direct effects of individual recommendations on sleep remains largely untested in the general population. Suggestions for further clarification of sleep hygiene recommendations and considerations for the use of sleep hygiene in nonclinical populations are discussed.
