Summary

This study tests a culturally tailored sleep program called Sleep BETTER for African American pregnant women who are overweight or obese. The program combines sleep hygiene tips and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help improve glucose metabolism and reduce pregnancy complications. Participants are randomly assigned to either the sleep program or a standard pregnancy education group, and their blood sugar and insulin levels are tracked.
