They say it is always better to sleep at night time because our body functions better that way. But then, I know a couple of friends who work on graveyard shifts and they didn't have unhealthy babies so I guess you just have to make sure you get all the sleep you need.

If a mom isn't getting enough sleep when pregger, the risk of having a premature baby is high. But if you're saying that you're able to get enough sleep and an uninterrupted one, then I think there's nothing to be worried about.

Well if you feel tired when you have those sleepless nights or for not having enough sleep, the baby may feel the same too.

That's quite a good news. Thanks!

@Abana and Baha- I hope you're all right! I don't feel any difference at all with a good night's sleep and an uninterrupted daytime sleep so I guess (and hoping) I'm doing just fine. Thanks!

I'm also working on various shifting and my colleague who's also pregnant also had to endure our work schedule. I believe she's also able to get some good sleep during the day. Never heard any problem with her pregnancy at all. Last November was her baby's baptismal and the baby's doing fine.

As long as you're getting enough sleep and rest during the day then I guess you and your baby will be fine.

I agree with the previous posters. It's ideal of course to sleep at night (as skin repairs itself when the lights are out! #talkaboutvanity) but if you're getting sufficient and straight sleep then that's fine.

It is still best to have a 6 to 8 hours of sleep at night if you can.
