1. Sleep-Friendly Diet. Anything spicy, fatty are not foods that promote sleep during pregnancy. If you find that you experience nausea at night, keep some crackers next to your bed. Some women find that their prenatal vitamins make them feel nauseous — if this is the case, decide if you'd rather have your sleep and take them during the day or if you can sleep through the nausea.
2. Routine. By going to bed the same time every night, your body will become accustomed to a regular bedtime.
3. Comfortable Bed. A good mattress can make all the difference in getting quality sleep during pregnancy, so if you can, don't skimp on the mattress. Choose comfy bed linens that will breathe well, and layer blankets for those hot flashes pregnant women tend to get.
4. Pajamas. If you sleep in pajamas, you may need to get some maternity pjs for added comfort. Sleep shirts, elasticized pajama bottoms shorts all work well.
5. Support Pillows. Women no longer have to resort to creative pillow arrangements to comfortably sleep during pregnancy. While the old pillow-between-the-knees-pillow-under-the-belly-pillow-behind-the-back trick may work in a pinch, there are many maternity pillows on the market that do the job of two to three separate pillows. The body pillow is long enough to hug and support your belly, and maybe your knee.
6. Sleep Positions. By your second trimester, you'll find that sleeping on your belly is no longer an option, and sleeping on your back is no longer safe for your baby. Get used to sleeping on your left side, which is the safest position for sleeping during pregnancy.
Separate Mattress and Beds for Sound Sleep
There is still very much a social stigma for young couples to seek out separate mattresses.
1. Extra beds for happy couples
Snoring, hogging the duvet, fighting for space, being unable to stretch or move freely, fidgeting...even the breathing of a partner can drive you potty. There are endless ways couples try and combat their mattress wars – ear plugs to block out snoring, sleeping pills, hypnotism – but the easiest way to ensure a good night's sleep is to sleep alone. Buying extra beds and an additional mattress could save your marriage.
2. Selfish sleeper? Invest in an extra mattress
Women seem to struggle to sleep more than men when it comes to cohabiting a mattress. Simply investing in separate beds will ensure couples are looking after their sleeping habits. According to the National Sleep Foundation, separate beds is a growing trend, with just 12% of married Americans sleeping alone in 2001, rising to 23% sleeping alone in 2005.
