Sleep for Science


Pregnancy and Postpartum Sleep Research Study
We are looking for healthy, pregnant women ages 18-40 with a history of depression or bipolar disorder to participate in a research study of sleep and mood during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
The study involves a initial meeting and home sleep monitoring during 4 different weeks -- 1 week at the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and 1 week each at 2, 6, and 16 weeks postpartum.

Participants will be paid for their time and effort
