Late-Night scrolling linked to longer, tougher labors

This study looked at whether a mother's sleep quality, anxiety levels, and nighttime phone or screen use before giving birth are connected to how her labor progresses. Researchers followed 127 first-time mothers, measuring their sleep and anxiety before labor and tracking their labor details. The goal was to see if poor sleep, high anxiety, or late-night digital habits are linked to longer labor times or a greater need for medical help during delivery.
