- Review the incidence of sleep disturbances in all pregnant individuals
- Contrast the incidence of sleep disturbances in women with psychiatric diagnoses versus women without psychiatric disorders
- Examine how increased sleep as well as decreased sleep during pregnancy can be predictive of depression and psychotic episodes respectively
