Brief Summary

In the intervention group, both the mean infant “night-time sleep period” and infant “longest self-regulated sleep period” were 81 min longer than the controls (p < .001). With an improvement of 160 min, the mean infant bedtime was decreased to 22:20 hours in the intervention group, substantially earlier than the controls (00:30 hours). The mean infant “night-time awakenings with signals” did not significantly change (2.6- and 2.5-times in the intervention and control groups, respectively). The intervention led to a significant improvement in maternal sleep quality and depression (p < .05).
