The Mum and Baby Sleep Study

The Lincoln Sleep Lab is looking for new mums and their babies to take part in a unique study into the quality of their sleep.

Sleeping when you have a new baby can be tricky, often leading to families feeling tired and stressed in the first few months and yet, despite this, science knows little about sleep in young babies and their mothers.

The study requires mothers and their babies (of around three months old) to stay overnight in the Lincoln Sleep Lab at the University of Lincoln, where the duration and quality of their sleep can be monitored.

The ultimate goal of the study is to help improve sleep quality in new mothers and their young babies, leading to greater well-being for the whole family.

As well as contributing to worthwhile research, the mum will also receive £50 cash and a £5 gift voucher for Mummy and Little Me.
