New report on sleep
What this means for new moms | 1 min read
Dreem Health, The State of Sleep Health Report 2025, chapter 4.
We don’t talk enough about sleep. Especially for new moms.
Dreem Health | Sunrise just gave us the data to back it up:
✅ 76% of caregivers are sleep-deprived. 56% of women rarely feel rested.
✅ Not all moms are impacted equally. Low-income adults are 45% more likely to experience poor sleep.
✅ 54% say stress + anxiety are #1 barriers to rest.
✅ Sleep loss is tied to mood disorders and burnout.
✅ Even sleep tracking can backfire. Orthosmonia is real. 🙋🏻♀️
The cycle is brutal: stress → bad sleep → more stress.
Poor sleep doesn't just make you groggy. It disrupts focus, emotional regulation, physical health, and decision-making.
🚨And we’re asking moms to raise a brand new tiny human and return to work–ALL WHILE COMPLETELY SLEEP-DEPRIVED🚨
It’s not only unfair. It’s dangerous.
Sleep health is finally getting attention. But better sleep can’t just be a mom’s responsibility.
📣 Our systems need to step up and make sleep care a priority:
Paid leave.
Affordable childcare.
Accessible maternal mental health care.
Real sleep support for moms and babies.
Moms deserve REAL support.
Sleep is health. And protecting it should be a right, not a privilege.
