SLEEP Trial Summary

Sleep is a critical component of daily life that significantly influences health and well-being. Despite the integral role sleep plays in life, its effect on women's reproductive health, and its subsequent impact on fertility, is largely understudied. The purpose of the SLEEP Study is to investigate the link between sleep and fertility. Participants will use a wireless wearable device mounted on the finger to measure sleep in the weeks preceding and following an embryo transfer during treatment with in vitro fertilization. The investigators hope that these findings will inform future therapies that improve sleep and fertility outcomes.

Effect of frozen embryo transfer protocol type on sleep parameters and pregnancy outcomes

SLEEP Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Euploid embryo transfer groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will wear the Oura Ring continuously for data collection starting in the month prior to their embryo transfer date. They will wear the Oura Ring throughout the preparation, embryo transfer, and post-transfer until either a negative pregnancy test or, if positive, until 8 weeks gestation. The study time for each participant will thus extend from either 5 weeks for negative pregnancy tests, to 10 weeks for normally continuing pregnancies.
