The National Sleep Foundation (2007) states that 97.3% of pregnant women in the third trimester always wake up at night. On average, pregnant women wake up 3-11 times at night.

According to Reichner (2015) sleep pattern disturbances in the first trimester were 13%, in the second trimester 19% and increasedin the final trimester by 66%. The incidence of sleep disorders in pregnant women in Indonesia is quite high, around 64% of pregnant women in Indonesia experience sleep disorders. To overcome this, pregnant women need to do pregnancy exercises regularly and optimally to increase the comfort of pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of pregnancy exercise on the quality of sleep of pregnant women.
