However, evidence from Indian antenatal populations remains limited. This retrospective, hospital-based cross-sectional study assessed the association between sleep disturbances and maternal\/perinatal outcomes among pregnant women attending an outpatient clinic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, over 18 months (January 2023\u2013June 2024). One hundred consecutive antenatal women were recruited based on the predefined criteria. Sleep-related exposures included total sleep duration, perceived sleep quality, difficulty initiating sleep, nighttime awakenings, habitual snoring, self-reported sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome (RLS). Maternal variables included gravidity, previous abortions, high-risk status, antepartum events, premature rupture of membranes, mode of delivery, and liquor volume. Neonatal outcomes assessed were need for resuscitation, complications, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay &gt;24 h, and APGAR scores at 1 and 5 min. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics and Chi-square,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">t<\/jats:italic>\n                      -test\/Mann\u2013Whitney\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">U<\/jats:italic>\n                      , or Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests (SPSS v20), with\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05 considered statistically significant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most participants were aged 21\u201330 years (61%) and primigravid (51%). Poor sleep quality (43%), snoring (49%), self-reported apnea (17%), and RLS (29%) were common. Poor sleep quality, short sleep duration, snoring, and nocturnal awakenings were significantly associated with high-risk maternal status and NICU stay &gt;24 h. Lower APGAR scores were noted among women reporting short sleep, snoring, or apnea.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multiple dimensions of disturbed sleep were significantly associated with adverse maternal characteristics and early neonatal compromise.
