This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sleep quality and duration in pregnancy and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Materials and methods: This prospective follow-up study was performed on 240 pregnant women with a gestational age between 20 to 24 weeks, who were referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari from 2018 to 2019 for prenatal care. The sleep quality of all eligible women were evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). During the 26 to 28 weeks of gestation, 1-hour and 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was done for all women. Results: The results showed that women with poor sleep quality had a significantly higher mean BMI and 1-hour and 2- hour OGTT results (P < 0.05). Compared to women with good sleep quality, women with poor sleep quality (PSQI >5) had a greater risk of developing GDM (OR ¼ 2.99, 95% CI 1.77 to 5.06). In women with sleep duration of less than 7 and more than 9 hours, the frequency of GDM was significantly higher than women with the 7e9 hour sleep duration (P < 0.05). Also, the frequency of GDM in women with three or more than three times of snoring in a week (63.44%) was significantly higher than women with once a week (30.61%) (P-value <0.001). Conclusion: It seems that sleep disorders and poor sleep quality can be a risk factor in developing GDM. Therefore, sleep characteristics should be considered in pregnancy care; especially in women with higher risk of GDM. Keyword: Sleep wake disorders, Pregnancy, Diabetes, Gestational, Snoring 1.

In a 12 questions that have six positive and negative meta-analysis, the results showed that patients with items and the scores of negative items that include sleep apnea have a higher risk of GDM. However, “not at all”, “as usual”, “a little more than usual”, the link between GDM and poor sleep quality is “much more than usual” are 0, 1, 2 and 3, respec- unclear [19]. Another meta-analysis revealed that tively. For positive items that contain “much less long-term sleep duration is a risk factor for GDM than usual”, “less than usual”, “as usual” and “more [20]. than usual”, scores 3, 2, 1 and 0 are considered, Considering the high prevalence of sleep prob- respectively. In this case, the minimum score of the lems among pregnant women and the possible GHQ-12 will be equal to 12. The lower a person's relationship between GDM and sleep disorders and score, the more mental health patient has, and the the lack of strong available supportive evidence in higher the score than 12, the more likely it is to be this area in our population and also according to the considered a mental health disorder [23]. In our racial differences and their impact on the prevalence study, women with a score of more than 12 were of disorders associated with pregnancy, this is one excluded from the study. At the first visit, womens' of the priorities of public health and there is a need demographic and clinical characteristics such as to further studies [21]. Therefore, this study aimed height, weight, BMI and blood pressure (BP) were to evaluate the relationship between sleep quality recorded.
