Finish exercising at least three to four hours before you go to bed. While exercise during pregnancy is great for your mental and physical health, it can interfere with sleep unless your body has time to unwind after a workout.
Some studies show that exercising too close to bedtime can cut down on deep sleep.
A study by the National Sleep Foundation found that more than half of pregnant women take at least one nap during the work week, while 60 percent take at least one weekend nap. Keep in mind, however, that sleeping during the day could disrupt a good night's sleep. Use your bed for sleep and sex If you are in the habit of paying bills or watching TV in bed, stop. Reserve your bed for enjoyable bedtime activities. If you're still awake after what feels like 20 to 30 minutes, get up and go into another room.
