Pregnant women with an education level of high school and above high school have an increased risk of insomnia, POR: 3.03 (95% CI: 1.66-5.55) and POR: 2, respectively. 62 (95% CI: 1.36-5.05). Pregnant women who have the habit of using phones related to bedtime have an increased risk of insomnia POR: 3.32 (95% CI: 1.93-5.70).
