Post-partum depression (PPD) may lead to poor sleep quality, a study of 46 post-partum women shows.
Sleep deprivation may hamper a mother’s ability to care for her infant because judgment and concentration decline. Sleep-deprived mothers may also inadvertently compromise their infants’ sleep quality as infants often adopt their mothers’ circadian rhythms.

Children with a migraine headache are more likely to have sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and lack of sleep, than children without a migraine, according to a research abstract on the effects of headaches on children’s sleep patterns at Sleep 2008.
For this study, 90 children with headache and sleep problems underwent a polysomnogram, a sleep test that monitors the brain, eye movements, muscle activity, heart rhythm, and breathing. Of the participants, 60 had a migraine, 11 had a chronic daily headache, six had a tension headache and 13 had a non-specific headache.
