Research project
Are you a First-Time Expecting Parent?
Hello! The team Once Upon a Night, in the sleep research laboratory at the Hôpital en santé mentale Rivière-des-Prairies and McGill University (under the supervision of Marie-Hélène Pennestri, PhD, psychologist), is in the process of recruiting first-time expecting parents!
We are looking for mothers who have been pregnant for less than 7 months (18 years and over) to participate in a three-part research study (3rd trimester of pregnancy, 3 months and 6 months postpartum). We will record the sleep of future mothers, their life-partners, and infants at home with a watch, to study the associations between sleep, parental expectations, and well-being.
Participants will receive financial compensation in the form of gift cards ($30 per part of the study, for a total of three parts).
Exclusion criteria: Mother or life partner diagnosed with a depressive or anxiety disorder. Mother or life partner taking medication for depression, anxiety, or sleep.
