PSQI scores and their seven components at the two GW were compared, as were PSQI scores at 12– 16 and 32– 36 GW and the increment in PSQI relative to PA. Regression analysis was conducted to assess the effect of PA and its change on the total PSQI score at different GW.Results: The mean PSQI scores increased significantly during pregnancy, from 6.30 ± 3.01 at 12– 16 GW to 7.23 ± 3.47 at 32– 36 GW. Compared with women in low PA level, moderate levels of PA at both 12– 16 GW and 32– 36 GW were significantly reduced PSQI scores of 0.42 (95% CI:-0.68,-0.16) and 0.32 (95% CI:-0.63,-0.01), respectively. At 32– 36 GW, high PA level also significantly decreased PSQI score, with a greater decline than moderate PA level. (AOR=− 0.87,95% CI:-1.57,-0.18). PA increment from 12– 16 to 32– 36 weeks of pregnancy created a significant decline of 0.54 in PSQI scores.Conclusion: The study revealed sleep quality was worse at the third trimester and moderate PA level had the potential for improvement of sleep quality both in the first and the third trimester. High PA level was also beneficial to improve sleep quality of pregnant women in the third trimester.Keywords: gestational weeks, pregnancy, sleep quality, physical activityTan LZou JZhang YYang QShi HDove Medical Pressarticlegestational weekspregnancysleep qualityphysical activityPsychiatryRC435-571Neurophysiology and neuropsychologyQP351-495ENNature and Science of Sleep, Vol Volume 12, Pp 431-442 (2020)
