Abstract

Sleep deprivation is a state in which the body does not get enough sleep due to various reasons.There is growing evidence that pregnancy is a special physiological period when sleep deprivation is more likely to occur to varying degrees than in non-pregnant women, and that it may have serious adverse consequences for the offspring.This article summarizes and reviews the effects of sleep deprivation during pregnancy on the offspring and may provide some clinical ideas to promote maternal health and improve offspring outcomes.

Key words
