Sleeping is an important part of our lives. The duration and quality of sleep affect our mental and physical development. Since it is an important factor influencing the body’s normal functioning, it is also associated with healthy fetal growth and development during pregnancy.

Improper sleeping positions can lead to stillbirth and low body weight of the baby.
