Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Pregnant women with a singleton gestation who have a military affiliation
  • Ages 18-45 years
  • Ability to communicate during the screening process
  • Access to a computer, smart phone or tablet with internet service
  • Willing to use bassinet they are randomized to
  • Willing to travel to a local Quest for blood draw

Exclusion

  • Presence of depression assessed over the phone using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders - Clinical Version, Mood Disorders Section (SCID-I). Current active suicidal ideation, medical or psychiatric instability, or active substance abuse or dependence during the last 90 days. Since this is a study about risk for recurrent PPMD, actively depressed women will be excluded.
  • Plans to co-sleep with infant. The goal is to compare two bassinets; therefore co-sleeping would prohibit extensive use of a bassinet.
  • Under the age of 18 years or \> 45 years. The goal is to include women of childbearing age.
  • Multiple gestations, Type 1 diabetes, congenital fetal anomalies. Women with these factors will likely have major disruption of sleep, require 2 bassinets, or a disrupted home life. These would skew the data and make interpretations and comparisons difficult.
  • Tobacco use (current). Smoking is associated with poor sleep and inflammation.
  • Self-reported, untreated comorbid sleep disorders including narcolepsy, periodic leg movement disorder, and/or obstructive sleep apnea. These disorders contribute to poor sleep and often require medications for treatment.
  • Current use of psychotropic or sleep medications. These are associated with altered sleep and inflammation.
