The study is examining how chronotherapy, which aims to reset the sleep cycle, can help people experiencing perinatal and postpartum mood disorders.
Dr. Kristina Deligiannidis, associate professor at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, wondered how sleep and perinatal mood disorders were related and if there was a way to improve sleep that could reduce perinatal or postpartum mood disorder symptoms.
What’s more, they struggled to fall asleep and stay asleep and woke randomly throughout the night and then couldn’t fall back asleep. Previous research also indicated that it wasn’t just the discomfort of being pregnant that caused the sleep disturbances. The multi-site study randomizes participants who are about 24 weeks pregnant to be in one of three groups. One group receives traditional perinatal depression treatment, which includes talk therapy and medication. The second group uses “personalized integrated chronotherapy,” which uses bright light from a light box in the morning and a prescribed sleep schedule along with traditional treatments, such as medications and therapy. The third group receives only light box therapy and sleep schedule.
“It’s a study that uses multiple interventions to reset the body’s sleep-wake cycle,” Deligiannidis said. “Again the focus is actually to reprogram the sleep clock in the brain to not only improve sleep but through the improvement of sleep, reduce depression.”People receiving the light box therapy wear a device called an actigraphy that “measures their light exposure 24 hours a day.
