No significant differences in estradiol levels were observed in women with and without postpartum insomnia. The groups of women with and without postpartum RLS showed no significant differences in the incidence of postpartum insomnia. Our study demonstrated no significant association between Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) during pregnancy and postpartum insomnia.
Women who developed postpartum insomnia significantly more often reported insomnia during pregnancy (P = 0.001), were more likely to have suffered from depression in the past (P = 0.007) and had significantly higher BDI (P = 0.002) and EPDS (P = 0.048) scores. And while it may not be recognized as a specific diagnosis, postpartum insomnia is still very real and affects many new parents. Serum estradiol levels were measured using ELISA assay. The main assessment methods were the following psychometric scales: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). 84 patients were assessed 24-48 h after labor. A medical doctor or mental health therapist can determine whether postpartum insomnia is a symptom of a larger issue. This study assessed the relationship between insomnia and both depression symptoms and blood estradiol levels in women during the early postpartum period. Postpartum Depression and Other Mental Health Issues Impacting Sleep Sleep problems after childbirth can also be a symptom of postpartum depression and other mood disorders. After childbirth, women may develop symptoms of depression with the associated sleep disturbances.
